People seem to always seek the "easy way."
I was deeply concerned when the NAMB moved from their downtown Atlanta headquarters to "Affluent Alpharetta"--- far distant from the bums on Spring Street and the Atlanta Airport which was the main way for people on the mission field coming in as well as home executives to go to them for consultation.
I know of NO growing church which is not on the fringe of rapid urban growth. I pastored one in N. Metro Atlanta just down the road from Johnny Hunt's booming Woodstock First Baptist. He moved it from downtown Woodstock to a large campus on the busiest N. Georgia State HIghway. My church was growing by leaps and bounds because people were moving in by leaps and bounds.
Real minisry to the "down-and-outs" where Jesus walked is far more difficult---and needed---than sitting on the Temple steps changing money.
By the way, I think we are far off the subject of this discussion, though
