Toronto Update

From the moment these 34 individuals stepped outside their vehicles with hearts and bags full, they had no idea what this week would hold.
 The first group to arrive was from Michigan, who had already come last year! As their 34 legs stepped out of the vans, you could see the twinkle in their eyes as they braced themselves for "another" week here in Toronto. They were so remarkably impacted by the people they served, the stories they heard, and the things they saw, so much that they took this programming back home to serve those in their own communities.  

Network of HandsTechMission is looking for a Program Coordinator for its TechMission Corps urban ministry internship program for this fall.

Why Me?

Life is unfair. Why can't I get what I want? If I only had... I need... Why me? Sound familiar? I think we all get that way from time to time. I catch myself saying it all the time. But, as much as I say it, do I realize what God has given me? Can I even begin to count my blessings?

Windsor Crossing Community Church Serves the People of Chicago

After sitting down with a pile of books about Child development, grantwriting, and Youth violence prevention...it occured to me that there is a deep depression in today's younger generations and how underfunded the organizations that work against poverty are.  Intergenerational cycle of crime and poverty is accepted, fortunately not coveted.  What are we to do about the belief in today's youth that having low expectations for yourself is acceptable?  What of the larger organizations that try hard to discuss ways to alleviate poverty, but come with no solutions.
