In one pilot neighborhood a partnership might be established among a resource church, a neighborhood church, and parachurch ministries to demonstrate an all-out effort to touch the lives of all kids in that geographic area in hopes of demonstrating what hope, love, and caring can do to change the course of a life. This is not a speculative pursuit without successful precedent in parachurch ministries and organizations. Placing the neighborhood church at the center of this type of initiative might offer the opportunity to ultimately scale this already proven approach to reach all kids in the core city. This is a worthy call to the church of Memphis.
