Inner cities

From Missiopedia

• The decaying inner cities: In the midst of affluence many cities have a rotten core. Unemployment, poverty, drug abuse, crime and despair are widespread. Most Christians and churches have migrated to the more comfortable suburbs, leaving these areas with little Christian presence. In many cases, inner cities have become the home of immigrant ethnic minorities who need to be reached with the love of Christ. Pray for bodies such as the Salvation Army, Association of Rescue Missions (USA), Ichthus (UK), Betel (WEC International) and many others with commitment to these needy peoples.
