NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMATION SEMINAR

Oct 28.
9 am -4 pm.
Dear Pastor:

As a church reaching out to the community and your immediate neighborhood, and wanting to make a difference for all eternity, I believe you will be interested in our upcoming Neighborhood Transformation Seminar in Milwaukee on Friday Oct. 28th.

More complete information is in the enclosed pamphlet.

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. Then 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, founder of CHE and author of the book Multiplying Light and Truth and Coordinator of The Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation, will be the presenter and facilitate the seminar. 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. The deadline for registration is Oct. 20th.

$30 per participant Includes lunch and materials.
