Community Transformation

In poor communities around the world and in North America, CRWRC works with local churches and organizations to bring about change. Our goal is complete community transformation to build up the Kingdom of God on earth.

The thinking is this:

• A handout might help a family eat today. This is good.
• A job might help the family eat tomorrow. This is better.
• Owning a small business might help that family have a steady stream of income and growing assets. This is better still.

Yet, living in a community where…

• People gather to shape their future together
• People work together on programs that will benefit their quality of life
• Everyone’s gifts and talents are welcomed and put to use
• Leaders are identified, developed, and affirmed
• On-going learning leads to awareness, understanding, and improved lives
• Justice prevails and laws protect
• Civic life is active
• Mercy is generous and flowing
• Christians are asked to provide input based on biblical values, ensuring that people and their neighbors have a lifetime of fruitful living.

This is best of all.

This is the type of community transformation that CRWRC strives for and has helped to achieve around the world.
