NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMATION COMES TO MILWAUKEE


Neighborhood Transformation is Built on:

Discovering and building on local assets: All people have skills, knowledge and passion that can and should be used in their neighborhood. In addition there are many small groups already in the neighborhood waiting to be used.

Neighborhood-owned development: People are responsible participants in their own development rather than passive recipients of handouts. Programs build capacity instead of creating dependency. Teaching is done in a participatory way, involving learners in a process of self-discovery that leads to action.

Spiritual integration: Another motive is to carry the message of light and hope found in Christ Jesus. Ministries of evangelism and compassion come together as believers respond to the saving power of Christ. Communities are led in the process of spiritual transformation by mature Christian leadership as true poverty alleviation takes place.

Presenter: Stan Rowland: Founder of CHE: Community Health Evangelism & Neighborhood Transformation.

Author of MULTIPLYING LIGHT AND TRUTH.

The purpose of this envisioning seminar offered by the Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation (www.neighborhoodtransformation.net) is to see how believers in Milwaukee can work together to alleviate poverty through Neighborhood Transformation in their own neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Transformation (NT) trains church lay-people how to enter a nearby poor neighborhood, develop relationships and identify assets already found in the neighborhood in individuals and groups. Building on these assets, the goal is to see the gospel bring true poverty alleviation over time.

NT seeks to transform individuals and neighborhoods by helping churches address the root causes of poverty, disease and spiritual darkness by training local church people to share the gospel and mobilize neighborhood actions. Neighborhoods identify their assets and take responsibility for their own lives by learning to change things that they want to see changed in their neighborhood. NT is multi-faceted, functioning in urban poor neighborhoods as Community Health Evangelism functions in the developing world.

Stan Rowland, Coordinator of the Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation, will facilitate the sessions. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the experience of one who has catalyzed, equipped, and mobilized teams for Community Health Evangelism and Neighborhood Transformation ministry around the world. He will provide an overview of NT principles and methods, and provide participants with information about how they can initiate and develop NT ministries in their communities.

If you would like to register please go to www.atmlive.org, and follow the registration link from the home page. The seminar is limited to 30 participants on a first come, first served basis. Due to limited seating, it is recommended that you complete your registration as soon as possible. For information, please contact RNDASSOW@ATT.NET
