Rev. Michael A. Howard
Called as Association's Minister of Faith in Action
|
We are delighted to announce that on March 22 the Rev. Michael A. Howard will join the Living Water Association's staff team as the Minister of Faith in Action. Faith in Action approaches revitalization by inviting congregations to look outside their church walls to discover what is happening in their own communities and how they can be Christ in the community in which they're planted. It encourages discovering the needs and the gifts of the wider community and partnering with them, to make the world into a more loving, compassionate and just place. It engages the church in its wider community, builds relationships, influences systemic change and more.
