How do we plan to do this?

- Outreach - being out on the streets, listening, hanging out, handing out stuff, and most importantly -- loving people face to face

- Listening and becoming aware of needs that we can meet, and finding our niche

-Establishing a gathering place for community events

-Gathering a "core team" of people interested in living in a different way. Meeting together regularly for fellowship, teaching, and building each other up.

Our goals:
1) Assess the needs of our target population
2) Build relationships and discover peoples' gifts, talents and interests
3) Figure out a venue for people to express and practice their talents and gifts
4) Educate ourselves on resources to help people in areas that we can't
5) Find like-minded people, start meeting regularly and building relationships
6) Network/ serve with other social justice-focused organizations
7) Build a "servant mentality" into the DNA and structure of our community

Teamwork/Chemistry is paramount. I pray you will encounter divine appointments that will enable your vision for NYC to come into fruition...

Actually, I've been praying about your vision for ministry and I can honestly say, it is unclassifiable: as close to rainbow that I can see, without it succumbing to artistic pretension/clones.

I wonder what 141 would comprise of using Jesus' approach to choosing those very first disciples...
