Creating Partnerships Continued
With more than 1200 community based places of worship in the Birmingham region, it is fitting that we take the lead in uniting our entire community in a concerted response to the problems that are before us in the coming years. More specifically, the aftermath of the April 27th storms which leave us to face the largest reconstruction in Alabama since the Civil War. There are still thousands of families that will not recover without our help. While we seek to mobilize the Church to deliver the message of hope, we are consistently looking for more effective ways to facilitate holistic individual and community development.
We are currently planning the largest mobilization of the community of faith and the largest mobilization of the corporate, government and community sectors in our history. As our staff continues to grow, we are looking for more effective ways to maximize our efforts in the greater Birmingham community. Our role in the disaster recovery has led us to put on additional staff as we have received Case Management funding to assist families in their recovery. In addition, we have received significant funding for our housing program to provide affordable rental and home ownership opportunities. While we are excited about our community development opportunities, we are consistently looking for ways to ensure that our prayer, pastoral church mobilization distinctive is not compromised. Pray with us as we ask God for clarity on how to accomplish both more effectively. Most of all... pray for the families of our state as they begin year two of this seven year recovery that lies ahead in 2012.
Sincerly Yours,
Frank A. Woodson
