Progress on the Missional Front

Wow! We continue to make progress to impact our community. There have been about 15 kids from Camelback High who have showed up for our tutoring classes and we have identified a local family who has expressed an interest to possibly start a Young Life club at the high school.

We have also identified about 150 Somali political refugee kids attending Camelback and are trying to line up resources to help them with life skill stuff. Many of them are unable to function real well in our society.

We are hosting a huge Child/Home Safety Day in conjunction with the city of Phoenix in late March. The Fire and Police Dept. will be doing all sorts of safety things with the kids including a car seat safety check. We will be collecting food and clothing the which will benefit some underprivileged families in our community. More to come on that soon.

We are developing a relationship with Pinnacle Forum, a parachurch organization that focuses on bringing Christ into the Phoenix Business Community.

We also are working on developing an alliance with other local churches in the immediate community to help support our local K-8 school who has a number of underprivileged families. Remarkably, the kids of these families are bused to this school from another part of town. So we are going cast a wide net out with other local churches and see if we can come together to collectively impact the lives of these families.
