Companion To The Poor Christ In The Urban Slums

When he entered the Manila squatter settlement ofTatalon in 1979 Grigg knew what he wanted to do butnot how to do it. The need was obviousto establish aChristian church among Asia's forgotten people theimpoverished slum dwellers of its vast megalopolises.The challenge was to find a way that did not treatpeople's spiritual needs in isolation from their povertywithout simply becoming another economic or socialrelief program with no evangelistic component.This book is the enthralling story of how the authormet and solved this problem. But in a sense it is anunfinished story. What has begun is but the beginningof the founding of a Christian community in a darkplace.This is not Viv Grigg's story alone but God's story.For it is God who is working in Tatalon and urbanslums like it and giving people a hope that affects allof life.Grigg, Viv is the author of 'Companion To The Poor Christ In The Urban Slums', published 2005 under ISBN 9781932805130 and ISBN 1932805133.
