Churches must welcome strangers by Morphew
Clark Morphew argues that churches should reach into culture and welcome outsiders rather than isolate. He recalls a pastor’s failure when newcomers felt unwelcome and urges believers to adopt a hospitable ministry to revive the gospel's impact. Morphew notes current rural evangelism challenges and the emptiness of many church buildings.
