Walking Alongside Leaders in the Neighborhood


This is an exciting season for our NC team down here in San Diego. As a result of deep engagement in the relational fabric of our neighborhood we are seeing new faces exposed to the radical call of following Jesus and its implications for their role on mission.

Life Compass is one of the main tools we use in NieuCommunities to develop leaders for the Kingdom. It is a process that explores spiritual gifts, passions, skills and seeks to align them with one's specific role in advancing God's Mission. It has been radically transformative as it has given many of our leaders and apprentices the clarity and conviction to be released on mission out of their unique gifts and calling.

We are thrilled that our living rooms are now full of not only our current apprentices, but local leaders from our neighborhood who are seeking to more faithfully follow Jesus and advance his Kingdom. Not only do we host a weekly training, but each participant is being personally coached through the process by one of our staff.

There is something very tangible about offering these relationships and tools to our neighborhoods. I believe this is one clear way we are seeking and succeeding at being Good News in the neighborhood. We pray that these leaders will be developed in a way that the Church extends to bring about God's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
