Training Resource

“I absolutely love the gentle way Michael Fariss brings up the continued neglect of the inner city (read: African American and poor) situation and church by the mainstream (read: economically advantaged whites and some of us internationals) evangelical church. We have leapfrogged over our Samaria and gone from our Jerusalem to the uttermost parts of the world. In the past, we didn't want to deal with our racism and, now, we don't know how to ask forgiveness and seek reconciliation, and so hide our shame by reaching out to the unchurched in our suburbs and overseas. The best about Transforming Inner City Evangelism is that it is not meant (merely) to be read, it is to be discussed.” Junias Venugopal

“The practical suggestions and directives on how to successfully engage in evangelism in an urban setting have proven invaluable for our church and have contributed to many coming to know Jesus as Savior. Mike Fariss has a keen insight and a profound understanding of inner city ministry sharpened by many years of “on the street,” “hands on” experience with both young people and their families. His strategies for overcoming the intense spiritual battles involved in this type of ministry are indispensable, making this book a must read for anyone working in urban ministry.” Edward K. Haywood

UDM's Story

"After more than two decades of frontline service, Mike Fariss remains a tried and true believer, and this is the story of how God keeps using him to bring faith, hope, and love to one of America’s challenging places. Read it and rejoice!" Bart Campolo

"Reconciling an Oppressor is a good example of the power of the gospel to transform one’s life and break through racial barriers. This book comes at an exciting time in the history of the church, and it is a book that we all need to read. I whole heartily recommend this book to the church at large and to anyone interested in racial reconciliation." John M. Perkins

"Mike clearly points out what Jesus teaches about doing good to those who don’t necessarily do good to us. Read this book, put it into practice and let’s see how the Lord will use us to make a difference in changing our world." Dal Shealy
