- 4. The promise is that a grain of wheat will bear much fruit. (John 12:24-26) But it must die to itself. From this home, out to many churches, then to many cities, then to many movements. I bring you greetings from 100’s of thousands now in the global slums.
- 5. First Step, following Jesus in the Incarnation. From the original Lifestyle and Values of Servants: Following Jesus’ pattern, who “though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty we might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9), we commit ourselves to live and work among the urban poor, to live as nearly as possible to their standard of living, while maintaining reasonable health and recognizing emotional physical cultural and family limitations. We intend always to master the language and culture of the people among whom we minister.

- 12. Incarnation + Proclamation Jesus’ call was never the incarnation. That was simply process. The aim is never just Vulnerable Mission. That is only one step out of glory into the cesspits of Kibera slums. Jesus’ goal was never to be a babe in a manger of a slum for the rest of eternity. Rather he came to preach. Good News. To the poor. That good news includes healing, liberty from oppression, freedom from poverty. To set people free is to see slums transformed.
- 13. Jesus’ Message of the Jubilee • This theme of the Jubilee becomes central to the New Testament –In the central passage around which Luke builds his gospel and the Acts, Luke 4:18, Jesus declares his mission –He inaugurates the Jubilee eternally.
- 14. Principle 6: Redistribution The Jubilee (Lev 25:8-17) Every 50th year, • It was a time of equalizing. I. LIBERTY • It is synonymous with the year of liberty. • Slaves are to be set free. II. DEBTS ARE TO BE CANCELED. • Economic freedom is inherent in the gospel message. III. CELEBRATION. • Celebration is inherent in the gospel message. IV. REDISTRIBUTION • The means of production, the land was to be returned to the original owners. Redistribution of the means of production is inherent in the gospel message. V. OWNERSHIP • Even the Levites were to have their own home
- 16. Liberating Pastors from oppressing their flocks The effects of pastors training their people in productivity and creativity is a switch of roles from oppressor to servant. The result is of increased support for the pastor. The pastors role is to teach the biblical principles of Kingdom economics.
