Span-Serve Your City: How To Do It and Why It Matters

by Dino Rizzo

Overview

Through the pages of the Gospels, we see Jesus model a "show and tell" life and ministry to His followers- He "showed" them how to serve by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and caring for the poor-and while He was demonstrating compassion, He taught them, "telling" them of God's  immense love. This is the way to show God's heart of compassion for the people in our cities and towns, and this is the way to break down barriers so people will listen to the life-changing message of the gospel of grace. In this book, you'll sense Dino's heart, be inspired by his stories and learn from his experiences, as well as many ARC churches that are serving their cities with a Jesus-style no-strings-attached kind of love. This is at the core of who ARC is - a deep passion to see churches thrive as part of the cities they serve.

“For over two decades, I’ve watched my friend Dino Rizzo model the love of Jesus by what he says as well as what he does. In Serve Your City, Dino inspires us all to balance our words and our deeds with the same inseparable alignment we see in the ministry of Christ. Both challenging and encouraging, this book reminds us that compassion isn’t secondary to our mission—it’s essential.”-CHRIS HODGES, Senior Pastor, Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, Alabama Author of Fresh Air and The Daniel Dilemma.
 

“Dino understands the crucial difference between being a church IN the community and being a church FOR the community.  This is a book about being FOR a community.  Churches must become missionaries again.  This book can help every pastor build that kind of church!”-SHAWN LOVEJOY, CEO, CourageToLead.com, Author of Be Mean About the Vision.
