It hadn’t occurred to me. We sort of take these things for granted.

Inner city churches are very challenging ministries, however. They would almost have to be mission works in most cases, wouldn’t they? Who could afford the cost of property in an inner city location? Certainly inner city members would not be soon able to do so. (Of course, this is not a reason against, just a likely reality for any such work. God is able!)

I do know of some who are attempting such works. I have a friend in the Bronx and another in Brooklyn who are labouring away at building churches in the inner city.

They needed churches, not missions.
