John Perkins


John Perkins, founder of the Christian Community Development Association, is a man to know. He abides deeply with Jesus, he is a prophet and visionary, and he is an evangelist to the core.
I urge you to google John Perkins and read one or more of his many books. With Justice for All and Let Justice Roll Down would be good starter books. They tell his story and the birth of CCDA.
John leads Bible Study every morning for an hour. On paper, it's a morning "option"; in actuality, he's the start of the plenary session in the morning because almost everyone arrives that hour before to hear the Word of God from John.
John Perkins will be 80 in June. He's as passionate today as he was 50 years ago about reconciliation to God through the blood of Jesus and reconciliation to one another in how we love each other.
