What would Lucas County look like if every Christian church were working in some loosely but strategically coordinated manner?What would the church itself look like?
You are invited to attend the Poverty Summit 2015 — Mind the Gap.
The goal of this FREE one day event is to develop a plan for the Christians in Lucas County
to tackle poverty. The event is being held at Cherry Street Mission’s Life Revitalization Center (former Macomber High School), 1501 Monroe St, Toledo.
Dr. John Perkins will be our inspiring keynote speaker this year. Dr. Perkins started the Christian Community Development Association and has guided hundreds of communities and ministries in addressing poverty.
Breakout Sessions will include:
~ What Gap? Understanding what the church needs to know about poverty
~ Building the Bridge: Steps out of poverty and into autonomy
~ Bridging the Gap: A unified approach to poverty in Lucas County. What can the churches do and how to collaborate for those willing to do so.

“… then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in
spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2:2-4 NIV
