Jill Buckley - Northminster Baptist

I was thrilled to see Josh Evans’s article celebrating the life and work of Mississippi's own John Perkins in your January issue. Unbeknownst to so many in our city, John and Vera Mae Perkins were among the catalysts behind a quiet movement in outreach ministry called “Christian Community Development,” which has revolutionized urban ministry over the past 30 years…I am indebted to his insights and to the legacy he has created.
