Who Is My Neighbor? Connie Cole Jeske

Who Is My Neighbor? How Will I Respond? chronicles the real-life drama of First United Methodist Church in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, which took the gospel of the Good Samaritan to its neighbors and community. Challenged to serve beyond the walls of the church, hundreds of congregants engaged in creative, life-changing ministries to the sick, homeless, jobless, imprisoned, and hopeless. A new chapter began when the church "adopted" the faltering nearby Eugene Field Elementary School, forming a lasting partnership that transformed not only the school but also the church members involved. Filled with practical guidelines, testimonies, and insights, Who Is My Neighbor? provides inspiration and instruction for individuals, groups, and churches seeking to minister to their neighbors in need.
