Christian Community Development: Neighborhood Transformation as a tool.

Getting to know your neighbors!


Do you want to know your neighbor?
Here is a good method to do it.

There are many facets of Christian Community Development.
Communicating with people in a culturally sensitive manner is basic.
It's all about Relationships!



But first here is a short video explaining the logic and reasoning behind this method.

Here is a good easy way to start the process

A little role playing is a good way to learn the process..before going out into a neighborhood.

Two people go out together
One prays while the other starts the conversation.
Usually they go in a neighborhood...door to door. 
They are not going to prosletize or get people to go to their church.

This survey is also a great "tool" that church planters can use...both locally and internationally!
