CCDA

I'm heading off to Miami, Florida tomorrow morning for the Christian Community Development Association conference (www.ccda.org). There are 9 from Orchard Hill Church and 7 friends from Waterloo joining together on this adventure. We're excited about what God has to teach us and excited about worshiping and learning together for 5 days!

CCDA's mission is to inspire and train Christians who seek to bear witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and restoring under-resourced communities.

Their vision: Wholistically restored communities with Christians fully engaged in the process of transformation.

Statement of Faith: The Lord Jesus Christ, God's son, redeems us through His death and resurrection and empowers us by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is God's Word and through it we are called to live out justice, reconciliation, and redemption. The church nurtures God's people gathering in a community to carry out God's Word.

Please pray that God would work through this conference to train up His people to be co-laborers in this mission!
