NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMATION

WHAT IS TRANSFORMATION? Transformation is a permanent change in people’s attitudes, beliefs, and behavior in all areas of their life (physical, spiritual, emotional, and social). These changed individuals then facilitate the same changes in others who change their neighborhood from the inside out.

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR TRANSFORMATION?

WHAT IS WHOLE PERSON/ NEIGHBORHOOD MINISTRY? Where one person assists another to become whole, who in turn assists their neighbor to become whole. It deals with all the different aspects of life: Physical Spiritual Emotional Social Without the spiritual component there is no wholistic ministry

VISION FOR THE CITY To see a city transformed, neighborhood by neighborhood, in all areas of life. Neighborhoods are networked together so eventually the city is transformed as a whole.

OBSERVED NEEDS OF THE URBAN POOR Alcohol and drug dependency Spousal and child abuse Poverty No or sub-standard jobs Single moms on welfare Poor living conditions

REAL NEEDS OF THE URBAN POOR Feeling of hopelessness Feeling of fatalism and I can’t change anything Don’t know what services are available Don’t know how to access these services Not organized to help change themselves or their neighborhood

THERE ARE ALSO ASSETS There are many assets that can be found in people living in the neighborhood as well as local associations and networks already functioning in the neighborhood. They are waiting to be utilized.

MINISTRY APPROACH A multi-faceted, neighborhood-based development strategy that deals with the WHOLE person in urban poor areas.

NEIGHBORHOOD BASED A Neighborhood is: Small in geographic size Built around an elementary school or A Census Track in US Census terms (Census ZIP Code is too large) Many time 10 to 12 square blocks in size Most cities have established neighborhoods set by the city government and historical precedence.

WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSFORMATION IS BUILT ON Identifying and utilizing assets already found in the neighborhood. Mobilizing individuals, associations, and institutions to come together to build in their assets and not concentrate on their needs. Awakening neighbor helping neighbor instead of being dependant on professionals.

FINDING ASSETS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD Individual Skills and Abilities Identify skills and assets of individuals and what they are willing to share. Associations Identify what informal groups are involved in the neighborhood already. Institutions Identify formal organizations – government, for-profit, and non-profit organizations.

MOBILIZING A NEIGHBORHOOD After finding assets in the neighborhood Connect individuals to others and groups to use their skills and abilities Build relationships among associations for common goals of neighborhood transformation built on assets Form a broadly based collaborative committed to further mobilizing existing assets for good of the neighborhood

WAYS TO HELP A NEIGHBORHOOD Relief Ministries – Provides assistance without addressing long-term needs nor using assets found in the neighborhood. Betterment Ministries – Tend to create short- term, positive, caring, beneficial environments and relationships that offer participants respite or positive experiences. Development Ministries – Focus on measured changes in knowledge, skills, abilities, or conditions of the participants

OUR GOAL IN TRANSFORMATION IS: Releasing individuals and neighborhoods to be all they can be, by transforming individuals who transform their neighborhood from the inside out

PROACTIVE MINISTRY Providers of transformation go to the people in their homes instead of waiting for the people to come to them. This shows the commitment of the mobilizers to their neighbors and causes transformation to be locally owned.

MEET FELT NEEDS AND USE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSETS Local people in the neighborhoods identify needs and assets through simple exercises Local people prioritize the needs Local people use existing assets and resources already in the neighborhood Trainers equip and empower the local people to solve these needs using what they already have.

MINISTRY IS COMMITTED TO: Partnering with groups already working with the neighborhood. Find churches that are externally focused and want to empower others to reach their target neighborhood in a wholistic way. Tapping into existing networks already working within the neighborhood.

MINISTRY IS COMMITTED TO: Promoting self-help within the neighborhood, not providing services to the neighborhood. Finding local leadership, training them how to solve their needs with people in their area, and releasing them to do it. Discovering and using local resources found in their neighborhood.

THIS IS DONE THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITATION Trainers/Facilitators Committee NAC

TRAINING/FACILITATING TEAM Initiates the program and creates awareness in the neighborhood – they are the Launch Facilitation Team. Begins the process of identifying individual skills and associations within the neighborhood. Are a group of people with different skills and background equipped to help the neighborhood. Trains the Committee and Neighborhood Mobilizers (NMs).

COMMITTEE Local people chosen by their neighbors to lead and manage the work. A group representing different segments of the area. Trained by the training team to be a good functioning committee.

NEIGHBORHOOD AGENTS OF CHANGE Are volunteers who have a heart to see their area changed physically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Are trained by the facilitation team on the identified priority needs of that area. Put into practice what they have learned. Share what they have learned regularly with their neighbors.

PROCESS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD Develop relationships in the neighborhood with individuals and existing groups and networks. Identify assets and interests of people in the neighborhood. In small groups begin equipping the neighborhood members to deal with identified issues. Meld small groups into one large group around a central issue. Form and train the committee. Neighborhood Empowerers are chosen, trained, and begin work.

EXPECTATIONS FOR MINISTRY Transformed neighborhoods from the inside People know their neighbors and are willing to help each other People knowing and growing in Christ People taking responsibility for their own lives Improvement in employment and living conditions Reduction in disease, crime, and drug and alcohol addiction Neighborhoods throughout the city using the urban ministry networked together to learn from and encourage each other

WHAT DO WE BRING? A proven wholistic transformation approach which helps organize people to do things in groups to transform their neighborhood as they are changed as individuals Participatory teaching approach that equips neighbors to help neighbors 1000 lessons on many diverse urban topics used to equip them to use their assets to deal with those things they want to see changed. An approach that systematically transforms multiple sectors in all areas of neighborhood life.
