Soil Analysis in Downey -- Fertile for Collaboration

We had a great meeting in Downey this morning! Several people participated in a soil analysis activity designed to identify some of the key impact areas in the city. The three areas the group identified included:
  • The Working Poor/Unemployment/Homelessness
  • Intercultural Understanding
  • Youth

Once again special thanks to Bob Varden for his work in organizing this event and to the participants who added thier input and have committed to being a part of strategic task forces that will address these areas of impact and coordinate the efforts to serve the city of Downey!

Soil Analysis in Downey

This morning I will be gathering with some of the leaders in the city of Downey to get an idea of the areas of greatest need and opportunities for the church to impact the community. I pray that we will sense God's leading and a clear vision will emerge for the church of Downey!

I am especially thankful for Bob Varden, a Kingdom Causes City Liason, who has been really instrumental in bringing the leaders to the table.

May all glory go to God.
