Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation has over 35 years of international experience to equip the urban poor in North America to transform their own lives and their neighborhoods. The goal is to facilitate transformed lives, neighborhoods and cities through the seamless combination of evangelism, discipleship and community development that is identified and owned by the indigenous population using available assets and resources. In urban USA settings this is called Neighborhood Transformation (NT).

Neighborhood Transformation (NT) ultimately addresses the root causes of poverty, disease, and spiritual darkness by training neighborhood individuals to take more responsibility for their own lives and neighborhood. When implemented, neighborhoods gain the capacity to identify and solve problems, and then determine and implement sustainable solutions utilizing appropriate technologies. Vital biblical faith is nurtured at every step.

The training will introduce NT concepts while showing the tools and processes of implementing and managing Urban NT. Sessions are conducted in a participatory style with large and small group discussions, as well as various hands-on activities. These methods all easily transfer to the urban neighborhood setting.

Presenter: Stan Rowland: Founder of CHE: Community Health Evangelism & Neighborhood Transformation.

Author of MULTIPLYING LIGHT AND TRUTH.

The purpose of this envisioning seminar offered by the Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation (www.neighborhoodtransformation.net) is to see how believers in Milwaukee can work together to alleviate poverty through Neighborhood Transformation in their own neighborhoods.

Neighborhood Transformation (NT) trains church lay-people how to enter a nearby poor neighborhood, develop relationships and identify assets already found in the neighborhood in individuals and groups. Building on these assets, the goal is to see the gospel bring true poverty alleviation over time.

NT seeks to transform individuals and neighborhoods by helping churches address the root causes of poverty, disease and spiritual darkness by training local church people to share the gospel and mobilize neighborhood actions. Neighborhoods identify their assets and take responsibility for their own lives by learning to change things that they want to see changed in their neighborhood. NT is multi-faceted, functioning in urban poor neighborhoods as Community Health Evangelism functions in the developing world.

Stan Rowland, Coordinator of the Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation, will facilitate the sessions. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the experience of one who has catalyzed, equipped, and mobilized teams for Community Health Evangelism and Neighborhood Transformation ministry around the world. He will provide an overview of NT principles and methods, and provide participants with information about how they can initiate and develop NT ministries in their communities.

If you would like to register please go to www.atmlive.org, and follow the registration link from the home page. The seminar is limited to 30 participants on a first come, first served basis. Due to limited seating, it is recommended that you complete your registration as soon as possible. For information, please contact RNDASSOW@ATT.NET
