Book excerpt: "Because many churches in the United States are experiencing declining attendance, the survival of small, rural churches has become a major concern to denominational leaders. God's call to these small, rural churches has often been viewed as a call to inferior ministry and minor success. It is desirable to show Assemblies of God college students preparing for ministry the importance of small, rural church ministry and to help them prepare for ministry in this context. This project seeks to achieve this purpose."--Introduction.
