Community Building & Empowerment
-
The Community Building and Empowerment team speaks out not only to the effective strategy of social change, it also speaks to an “effective” way to be human.
The Gospel calls us to right relationships with the poor, the rich, the stranger and with like-minded believers. Community Building and Empowerment is particularly effective because it engages such a broad and complex set of relationships; we build community - one relationship at a time! -
