YOUR Social Context

Ministry is difficult if you don't understand the context in which you do ministry. Contextualisation is that big word which is really about learning the 'context' of your situation. Learn the demographics of where you live. Learn the spiritual footprint on the society. Learn the strongholds. Don't start a soup kitchen if no one is homeless. Don't build a tennis court, if what your people need is child-minding.

YOUR Social Context will attempt to help Salvationists understand a little about their context, by creating links to local sites, e.g. Australian Bureau of Statistics, etc so you can find more about where YOU live.
