No.18 Stepping Stones

Suppose a middle class church was called to work on a run down council estate, frighteningly called “Little Beirut”. How much could they know about how to tackle the task? How much could they know at the start about how it would work out? Was that why they called the church plant “Stepping Stones”? Is this some parable to the wider church today as it faces a cross cultural mission in its own backyard?
