Neighborhood by neighborhood...

 

This is at least ONE active theory among cityreachers everywhere... but very likely needs to be 'sharpened' here... 

 

"How will we ultimately accomplish the Great Commission among 

every man, woman & child... if not Neighborhood by Neighborhood?"

 

And a wiki is a great forum in which to start sharpening that discussion.  Feel free to add or edit thoughts here.

 

 

• Geo-Church -- Is this biblical?  And if so, what should we do to implement it?
• Lighthouse concept... Be a lighthouse for prayer, care & share in YOUR neighborhood.  Give your neighbors an optimal chance to see & hear the Good News offer of peace with God, now & forever.
• "Living in a Prayed-for community" -- a thought-provoking article anyone may find helpful to apply in their neighborhood.
• "The 8 Components of Christian Community Development"... especially as applied to inner-city neighborhoods.
• Nhood.org -- best-in-class ideas & models for reaching your neighborhood for Christ.
• 'WithReach'.... a 'Canning Hunger' type of neighborhood approach -- excellent!
• Loved to hear this testimony from our friends in Indiana.
•  
•    Nhood tags. 

 

Imagine... what if we really DID work together in our neighborhood... being 'the Church'... the eklesia... the 'called-out ones'.  Would our community benefit?

Views on Neighborhood Integration... [ref: PewResearch]

 

Support for racial integration in neighborhoods varies by

race. Four-in-ten whites say they would like to see more

whites and minorities living together in the same

neighborhood, while fewer than one-in-ten (8%) say they

would like to see less residential integration than there is

now. A plurality of 44% says that current levels of

neighborhood integration are about right.

There is much more support among blacks than whites for

further residential integration. More than six-in-ten blacks

(62%) say they would like to see neighborhoods in this

country become more integrated. Just 6% say they would

like to see them become less integrated; the remaining 28%

say current levels of residential integration are about right.

Hispanic views on this question fall midway between those

of whites and blacks. Half favor more residential

integration, 5% favor less, and 37% say that current levels

are about right.

The current level of support among blacks for more

residential integration (62%) is nearly identical to

what it had been in 1994 (63%), as measured by a

CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey taken that year.

By contrast, white support for more residential

integration has risen in the past 13 years – to 40%

today, up from 33% in 1994.
