You’ve likely heard by now of the free “Justice Revival” that is happening next week, November 10-12 at Dallas Market Hall, nightly at 7 p.m. “Over three days of prayer, preaching and worship, the body of Christ will awake to new life, uniting to answer Jesus' call to biblical justice.”Speakers include Rev. Zan Holmes, Samuel Rodriguez, and Mayor Tom Leppert. Music will be provided by Israel Houghton & New Breed, Fred Hammond, Salvador and Jaci Valasquez.
Please see http://www.justicerevival.org/ for much more information and schedule for each night.
Tied in with this one-time event are a series of workshops during the day to help churches learn what is working in the area of community impact. This “Ignite” workshop is “an event designed to celebrate, share and inform the community of the most effective best-practice program models in Dallas for social justice and community outreach among churches, nonprofits, funders and individuals.”
There is a $49 cost for this workshop. We believe so much in this idea of community transformation and that that this event could be so helpful to your DBA-funded church plant, the DBA will be happy to repay you $30 of that fee. Contact us for details.
This holistic approach to transforming your community has proven effective in church plants across the nation. Church planting researcher Ed Stetzer cites that “engaging in ministry evangelism [community ministries] is one of the strongest factors found to be associated with higher baptism counts.” (Church Plant Survivability and Health Study 2007, page 5.)
