“I submit to you that Randy Skinner’s model, CityTransformation is going to be adopted nationwide. It’s going to be how we do things. But we’re also going to have to take pastors and city leaders and train them with a call to action.”
– Bishop Dr. Harry Jackson, Hope Christian Church, Baltimore, MD and Washington D.C.
