Interested in transforming your neighborhood? In Milwaukee?

 Some "old" news, but updating from my LINKEDIN Profile.

Training of Trainers Neighborhood Transformation (NT) or CHE Seminar in Milwaukee, Feb. 23-25th. 2012. Yes, we had over 30 attendees, but we were not able to get inner city pastors to attend.  ?????????

Interested in having Neighborhood Transformation training, and having this training in Milwaukee in 2015?
Keep reading for an update. Let  me know if you are interested!  

Our involvement as volunteers with the American Red Cross in Milwaukee and seeing first hand the needs renewed my interest in Neighborhood Transformation and the possibility of having Stan Rowland (founder of N.T. ) come back to Milwaukee in 2015 for a Seminar/Workshop.

Let me help your church learn more about this ministry and get involved!

My interest in Milwaukee and poverty led me to: Neighborhood Transformation, a strategy which helps churches minister in a wholistic manner to people in urban poor neighborhoods. It empowers people to take responsibility for their own lives. Helps neighbors to help their neighbors and moves them from welfare and relief to empowerment. Focuses on assets found in the neighborhood which fosters local ownership instead of being based on problems which they expect outsiders to fix for them.

Neighborhood Transformation (NT) trains church lay-people how to enter a nearby poor neighborhood, develop relationships, identify assets already found in the neighborhood in individuals and groups. Then, by working with the local people, this information is used to improve the living conditions.
