How it all began Part 2

It happened as I was evaluating the measurement of our influence in creating real spiritual transformation while assisting the amazing children’s ministry.

I was sitting around with a group of kids listening to them tell me about their life at home as others had many times before when all of a sudden, everything just seemed to stop as if I were in a dream. It was as though all that I had learned and observed throughout the years converged at once.

A weariness grew over my normally cheerful disposition. For so many years I had been striving to make a difference to see whole communities and cities be spiritually transformed and had missed the obvious. I couldn’t deny it anymore.

No matter how good we are at influencing peoples lives, in order to
be the most effective in those children’s life or any one else’s, we would need to live where they live and be part of the environment they live in.

It was time to do something I have never done before and I wasn’t sure how to do it.

How it all began Part 1

For over 35 years I have been actively involved in helping church ministries get from point A to point B. I seen just about every church model function at different levels with many different results.

As a ministry analyst I have actively engaged myself in ministries within the churches, working with as many ministry volunteers as possible in order to properly examine the operational and spiritual structure down to its smallest component, recommend changes and help implement those changes working side by side with wonderful and faithful friends.

All the Church leadership, coworkers and partners whom I have enjoyed ministry time with want to experience the real authentic Christ filled life. We want to make a difference and offer others the same experience.

One particular church ministry I enjoyed tremendously. It had such wonderful people who allowed others to use whatever gifts they had to make a difference. Anyone had the opportunity to get involved in places where they had a passion and gifting. Many gifted leaders also flourished in this environment, creating more leaders.

Then something happened that I did not expect.

What this site is about

This site will show what can happen…

• When Christians learn to connect and empower one another where they live.

It’s already beginning and in time you will learn about the story which is unfolding here and in other neighborhoods across America.

How Do I Start ?

Here’s what you need to start to begin facilitating transformation in your neighborhood

 

• See the need where you live. We have allowed ourselves to become more active outside our neighborhood than in them.

• Accept full responsibility for the spiritual and physical well being of yourself and your neighborhood.

• Be inspired or desperate enough to create habits of action. Good intentions pave the way to inaction. It allows us to feel good for doing little or nothing at all. Its path leads to ruin.

• Open your door and step out. Most evenings we close our doors to the same people we say we care about.

• Open your door and let people in.

• Listen much, act much, talk little.

• Connect the “Church” in your neighborhood. Look for other Christians, connect with them, love them and work together. Raise Jesus above the walls.

• Seek to love your neighbor. We have mistaken good intentions for actions. Show them Jesus. It will allow us to live the life we were meant to live on an everyday basis.

Love God and love your neighbor. Its that simple

Our Neighborhoods define America

When we, as Christians connect and empower one another in the neighborhoods we live in, then all neighborhoods would have a “living Church” to serve and transform it. The vision of spiritual transformation in every community and city will become a reality.
