SAVE THE DATE: SERVE FEST ~ 3 October, 2009
City Vision is organizing this city-wide day of service uniting churches in the Columbus area. Hundreds of people from area churches will put feet to their faith with one goal in mind on Saturday, October 3rd …to demonstrate the love of Christ to our city! Focusing on inner-city neighborhoods, parks, schools, the elderly, homeless shelters and MORE, ServeFest will provide a bridge for churches to connect with needs in our urban communities as well as throughout Columbus! Individuals and groups of all ages are invited to pick a project and spend the day serving the community through ServeFest. (even the Buckeyes scheduled a night game!). Plan now to join together for this worthy cause!
Contact your church contact to learn more about how you can get involved!

A Vision As Big As The City!
After raising my family in South Linden and doing inner city ministry there for fifteen years, I saw God work incredible miracles:
|
• |
hundreds of kids began a relationship with Christ |
|
• |
major crimes went down over 40% in our targeted area |
|
• |
the cycle of poverty is being broken in the lives of so many as kids as they graduate from high school and get jobs rather than going to jail |
|
• |
the value of marriage is embraced by many couples making marriage commitments |
|
• |
people from the community have become leaders in transforming the community |
|
• |
people are moving to the community rather than fleeing from it |
I believe these same miracles could transform other high crime and impoverished neighborhoods in our city (and other cities) if the Church would mobilize their people in unity across the racial and class barriers.
City Vision exists to ignite a movement of community transformation. I invite you to become part of this movement by contacting Jim via the contact form.
