They are the builders. Seeing their significance before they have earned it is actually what positions them for their own breakthroughs in ways that are valuable to entire cities. How we treat these disenfranchised, considering their significance in God’s eyes, becomes key in seeing our cities restored to God’s design and purpose.”
