The way I have understood community transformation is consistent with our current culture. If you wanted to change your community you had to do it by recruiting one person at a time. Usually it starts with an individual who highlights a problem and proposes a fix.
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:1-2
“Churches must return, again and again, to the heart of the gospel for renewal and for empowerment in order to proclaim it confidently to the culture.” ~ Darrin Patrick in For The City
