Jesus in the Village: A Contextual Gospel for Local Communities invites readers to imagine the transformative presence of Christ in everyday village life. Rooted in Scripture and enriched with real-life stories, the book explores how Jesus' teachings and ministry speak directly into the rhythms, struggles, and joys of local communities. From addressing poverty, illness, and social pressures to nurturing hope, reconciliation, and spiritual growth, it portrays a faith that is tangible, relational, and deeply human.

This book emphasizes the power of storytelling, cultural bridges, and communal practices as vehicles for conveying biblical truths. Readers are guided in understanding how local customs, proverbs, rituals, and everyday experiences can illuminate gospel principles, making faith accessible and relevant. Each chapter combines Scripture with vivid narratives, highlighting practical ways for individuals and communities to live out Christ's love, ethical responsibility, and service.

Ultimately, Jesus in the Village offers a vision of a vibrant, Christ-centred community where spiritual growth, social support, and communal transformation intersect. It inspires believers to embrace their faith in culturally meaningful ways, fostering a village life marked by compassion, moral integrity, and holistic well-being. This is a book for pastors, leaders, and every follower of Christ seeking to see the Gospel alive in the heart of their communities.
