CBFNC Webinar Series
Sustainable Community Development and Partnerships in Rural Communities
Tuesday, June 26, 2018
11-11:45am  FREE webinar with Kenny Sherin
Kenny and Karen Sherin, CBF "missionaries," live in Dimock, South Dakota, and work in rural community and economic development both on and off the Native American reservations. Poverty rates in SD are some of the highest in the U.S., with a majority being on the reservations. The problems of poverty are further exacerbated because of isolation and lack of support and awareness. Hear about their work and learn helpful tools to help your church learn how to listen, engage, and resource your community in healthy ways, as well as ways to engage in healthy, long-term partnerships with people in impoverished communities.  Register here .

We are setting up a schedule for more webinars in 2018. Contact Sarah Mitchell with webinar topic ideas or if you would like to be a webinar speaker. Find our webinar archives here.
