Urban Outreach plans trip to poverty workshop Saturday
Hey Everybody!
This Saturday, April 20, we have a neat opportunity to hear from DJ Vincent. He works down in Salem with homeless populations and low-income families. He will be giving a presentation at Northwest Free Methodist Church from 9 a.m. to noon.
Here’s the basic format of the presentation he is giving:
Section 1
- Awareness exercises to make people aware of judgment and build empathy
- Goal: Lower judgment and build empathy
Section 2
- Communication tools: training on oral & print culture
- Goal: Connect and communicate more effectively
Section 3
- Advocate tools: approach & examples
- Goal: Learn how to come alongside
Please contact me if you are interested in going or have any questions. I need to get a head count for the church. Let me know if you need transportation.
I’m really excited about this talk that he’s giving. This is something I’ve been praying for for a while – an opportunity to really dive into some deeper questions about Urban Outreach and poverty within our own community.
I hope that some of you can come.
God bless!
