Placed for a Purpose

Placed for a Purpose: A Simple and Sustainable Vision for Loving Your Next-Door Neighbors

Many of us don’t know our neighbors. If we do know them, we aren’t sure how to grow the relationship or talk about our faith with them. Placed for a Purpose provides a theologically rich framework for neighboring that helps people live missionally where God has placed them. Authors Chris and Elizabeth McKinney seek to provide a sustainable vision for the “low and slow” lifestyle of neighboring and supply practical tools that help people invest in their communities, value each step in the process, and build meaningful, gospel-motivated relationships with their fellow image-bearers right next door.

Chris & Elizabeth McKinney live in Columbia, Missouri with their four daughters. Chris has worked for CRU for twenty years, and Elizabeth is also on staff with CRU City. They both serve as associate staff at their church, The Crossing. They are writers, speakers, and are passionate about helping people love their next-door neighbors.
