Visioneering Seminar Friday Oct 28 and 29th.
Presenter: Stan Rowland: Founder of CHE: Community Health Evangelism & Neighborhood Transformation.
Author of MULTIPLYING LIGHT AND TRUTH.
Come to either one. Same content.

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.

The training will begin at 9:00 am and conclude at 4:00 pm on each day.

Will be held at City On A Hill: 2224 W. Kilbourn Avenue. (The old Lutheran Hospital)
