Who's Already Doing It?

As we seek to get to know our neighbour, our community, our setting, the culture and the people we long to reach, we need to find out: Who’s already doing It? -- doing something that will help, bless and enable people in that context.

What is the ‘good news’ to this people group before or as they are introduced by our showing and telling them the GOOD NEWS? What are other churches, ministries, missions, ‘secular’ agencies, state doing already (in the direction of Kingdom work – good work, even if not yet done clearly ‘in the Name of Jesus?’

God’s work is not just done by Christians. Where can we partner, join, etc. with others (government, secular, other denominations, even other faith-groups), while still keeping our Christian witness intact & with integrity?
