Around the world, one and a half billion people live in the slums of megacities like Manila, Calcutta, and Sao Paulo.

Viv Grigg has lived, planted churches, and brought the kingdom of God to these slums for the last 40 years, and discipled thousands of other Christians to do the same.

But its not been an easy ride. Its taken Viv years to work out all the ways Jesus wants to transform people’s lives. We’re talking with Viv today about how he discovered the whole gospel of Jesus Christ, and saw the kingdom of God come in urban poor areas.
