A few months ago, I began going to a home fellowship group. And out of the time that I have spent there, there have been many things that have come from it. Just to give a bit of background, this fellowship is part of a church here in Lakeside. Something that the church is trying to do, is become more intentional about becoming the “Acts 2 church” basically reaching into the community and doing whatever it can to bring transformation.
Because I have been teaching about community development and what that means for the past few years, I have been so excited to be a part of something here in Lakeside, that is actually allowing me to apply or “practice what I’ve teaching.”
Some things that have come as a result of this is now there is a new thrift store that is opening up to the public who need things for cheap, and I have also been able to talk with some leaders in the church to do a “community assessment” here in Lakeside. I teach a lot about community assessment in the FCD school. So to be able to actually do one in a community which needs Jesus and transformation, is so exciting for me.
