What We've Just Started.

A core group of residents have already signed up to participate.

What We'd Like To Start Next.
Reid Park needs a woman's group, & a youth group.
If you are interested in helping lead, or co-lead one of these kind of groups,

I took my kid out on the streets today.  Wanted him with me as I worked in an inner-city hood that was so very different than what he's ever known or seen. Told him in advance what to expect & how to behave. He did well, despite a few comments best left unsaid regarding the dirtiness of some homes. Showed him a garbage filled underpass & told him people live there & sleep there. I asked what he thought. He's just 6. What could he think, other than "eeeww'.  But I looked for what kind of eeeww he would offer; the kind that signified "that's gross" or the kind that signified "that's wrong". Here is where his discipleship will begin.

Let your kids play a role in The Justice Project. Take em with you when you hit the streets of Reid Park, giving of your resources, opening up your heart, working among the needy. Leave in the wake of those hours spent serving, a legacy in their young hearts that "this is how we roll". Show them by your actions what radical goodness looks like with skin on it.

FACTOID #1

Did you know that 10 percent of your giving toward The Justice Project is sent across the globe to nations on a continent called Africa -nations that have long been struggling with poverty, war, famine, & disease on a cataclysmic scale. So, while you're serving the poor & marginalized in your own corner of the world, know that you are also serving the poor in a corner of the world you may never visit, but will have helped lift, all the same.  The Justice Project; this is how we roll.

What's been done so far:

•  Prayer with Reid Park residents: 
•  Jan. 25-30, every resident who asked for prayer was personally visited & prayed with. Some great relationships have already started as a result.

•  24-7prayer week: 
•  Feb 1-8, Justice Project volunteers just wrapped up a week of nonstop night & day prayer in order to prep our hearts, slay fears, & invite God's kingdom to be on display in Reid Park. It was a blast.

•  Community Partnerships:
•  We established a partnership with Reid Park's Neighborhood Association, as well as with the Sheriff & officers from Reid Park's precinct division.
