Encountering God in the City - October 13th

I'm excited to lead an event called Encountering God in the City at North Way East End on Saturday, October 13th from 9am to noon. Many Christians are stepping up to serve marginalized people in their communities. With so many people serving, it's important to examine whether or not we are being effective at service that leads to a process of transformation for ourselves and the people impacted by these efforts. I'll be facilitating a discussion on the following topics:

• How can Christians help people in need without causing harm?
• The basics of urban ministry and Christian community development
• Understanding cross-cultural ministry
• The differences between compassion and justice
• Onramps to personal and community transformation
• Effectively advocating for orphans, widows, and other people marginalized by society

To sign up for this event, please email Jacque Speed at jacques@northway.org. The North Way East End ministry center is located at 5947 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206. I am looking forward to learning and growing together.
