“Bob Moffitt offers us the ripe fruit of his reflection deeply rooted both in Scripture and experience. I highly recommend this work as one that provides not only the vision but also the strategy to enable the church to fulfill its God-given purpose.”

“If Jesus Were Mayor provides a clear pathway for the church around the world to fulfill the Great Commandment and demonstrate the love of God in practical ways in its community. The transformational path is lit up by bright lights of biblical, historical, and contemporary facts and illustrations that reveal working principles and practices for churches around the world.”
Luis Bush, International Facilitator, Transform World
“I am convinced that the information and training shared in this publication contain the missing ingredients to helping the church in Africa move its believers to becoming ‘change agents’ for the transformation of their communities. The contents of the publication are not just theory, but have already been put to work in various parts of Africa with amazing and encouraging results.”
Daniel Bitrus, General Secretary, Association of Evangelicals in Africa
“Bob Moffitt calls the church to action to fulfill Christ’s command, ‘Go and make disciples of all nations.’ Be prepared to be challenged and changed.”
Loren Cunningham, Founder and Chairman, Youth with a Mission
“Bob Moffitt has captured the very essence of what ministry entails. I highly recommend this book!”
Ralph Neighbour, President, Touch Glocal Training Center, USA
“The Lord of the Church intends for His church to thrive and grow as self-suffienct and abundantly provided for, ‘according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.’ This conviction has gripped and led Bob Moffitt to develop down-to-earth teaching material which has now been used around the world to bless the church. Having used it in India and seen its value, I commend this work to churches for serious study and use that they may realize a healthy future in an age of many challenges.”
