Seth David Clark tells the powerful story of how the Border Church, founded and pastored by John Fanestil, worships on the San Diego–Tijuana border without a building. Every Sunday afternoon the author, who serves as the U.S.-side pastoral coordinator of the church, gathers with people of good will from both sides of the border at Friendship Park to build the kingdom of God. Their love of Christ is exhibited through celebrating communion, singing, and using their pinkies to pass the peace through the mesh metal walls between the U.S. and Mexico. Readers will get to know this remarkable international church community―and its distinctive expressions of theology, justice, righteousness, and love―through the eyes of active participants.

Willard Ashley revisits the need for radicals in a society that constructs systems and awards those who keep persons marginalized to maintain those in power and the status quo. Ashley outlines strategies for radicals in creating relationships and striving for excellence, not mediocrity. Although radicals face strong and life-threatening opposition, he advocates hope for change.

Author and pastor Margaret Marcuson introduces the notion of “sustainable ministry,” which trains and empowers pastors to focus on their inner resources for proactive leadership, instead of trying harder to help, fix or change others.
Money and your ministry: Balance the books while keeping your balance
Money does not have to be the hardest thing you do at church. There is an alternative to nonstop fundraising, convincing people to give more—or simply cutting the budget. This approach lets you discover what you bring to church finances that you already have, rather than simply teaching you the latest fundraising technique.
