A mum who moved to an estate with the Gospel!

Further to Dai’s post about bringing kids up on estates i thought i’d direct you to an
that my missus did recently at a women’s convention. It talks about her fears, experiences, prejudices and discoveries. Obviously i’m biased, but i thought that for someone who isn’t confident speaking in front of large groups she did great. I’m also confident that it would be helpful to anyone who is thinking of making that kind of move.
Reaching out to Inner City Communities – Jane Casey
1. Why the inner city?
- The Lord goes after those we would easily overlook
2. Why not the inner city?
- Why the prospect of going was so unappealing
- Why the initial reality of going was unappealing
3. What i’ve discovered in our inner city community
- People are precious
- My own prejudices
- The need to bridge build
- We over-value worldly success
- God is sovereign
PS – At the same Link you’ll find material by Simon’s missus, Lizzie Smallwood. Well worth a listen too, i am told.
