CCDA 2006 hosts guest speaker Dr. Wayne Gordon for their Friday Morning Plenary.

This workshop equips ministry entrepreneurs with the knowledge and practical resources necessary to create a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity poised to effect positive change in their community.  You will gain an understanding of the increasingly complex environment in which you must operate and will be guided through a step-by-step process enabling you to organize for excellence.

For 21 years, Mission Waco has been mobilizing hundreds of middle-class students and adults toward more compassionate involvement among the poor through its weekend Poverty Simulations and Out-of-Country Exposure trips.  The workshop describes how carefully designed experiences confront many of the myths about the poor during the guided training.  It will also provide both guidelines for building this experiential training from a Christian perspective and other creative initiatives which stretch Christians who want to become more involved in ministry with the marginalized.
