We recently were asked to submit an article to the Alliance Life Magazine speaking about what we do at Family Empowerment Centers.  Below is an excerpt from that article.

The answer to the question of how to live as Christ followers in Rogers Park is simple: laying aside the things that make us most comfortable, we (me, my wife, my family and other leaders) incarnate ourselves into the community. We weave ourselves into the fabric of the neighborhood in much the same way that our international workers embed themselves into their new communities. We take the time to sit with people regardless of their financial position, the color of their skin or the language they speak, and we pay attention to them. We notice them. We embrace them as valuable. We care for them the way Christ cares for us.
