"Adopt a Community" Street GRACE Challenge for 2010
mobilizing churches to go on mission into Atlanta communities who have at-risk children
Is your church mobilizing to help children who are in greatest need?
Chances are your church has probably adopted Global communities in Africa, India, Asia, South America or Europe to help with concerns of poverty, safety, health and hope for children.
But, have you adopted an Atlanta community that is also in need? Atlanta's communities have children in need of being motivated, educated and resourced with ways to protect themselves from being potential victims of sexual exploitation.
