Urban areas around the world continue to grow in population and influence, and demands on Christian ministries in cities are increasing. Effective urban ministry requires that pastors, missionaries, and church leaders understand modern, socially complex centers of population, culture, and political power. This second edition of Cities provides the insights needed to be an effective urban servant. Four new chapters have been added and the text has been updated throughout.

Peppered with practical, experiential illustrations, Cities draws its biblical inspiration from the model of the Antiochan church in the Book of Acts. It provides foundations for the practice of urban mission and impresses upon hearts the vital importance of this field of ministry. End-of-chapter discussion questions are included.

Greenway and Monsma have provided the church with what I consider to be the best introductory volume to urban ministry. It is solidly biblical and comprehensive.–Dr. Manuel Ortiz, Professor of Ministry and Urban Missions, Westminster Theological Seminary

Greenway and Monsma write more than a textbook on taking the gospel to the urban centers of the world. Cities: Missions’ New Frontier encourages people to labor that the masses are reached with the glorious gospel of Christ and His Kingdom built for his glory! This is a challenging, insightful, strategic, how-to, biblical book!–Doug Nichols, International Director, Action International Ministries
