Community Engagement Is Most Effective through Our Weakness - Partnership in Puerto Rico

Travelers Rest Discipleship & Groups; Central Generosity
Description
In this episode, Scott is in the studio with Steven Feliciano, Co-founder and Executive Director of Hunger Corp in Puerto Rico, and Joey Espinosa, the Puerto Rico Country Lead for Grace Church. They discuss the context for Hunger Corp’s work in Puerto Rico, their gospel-centered approach to ministry, and how our teams get to partner with them.
Key Points
- Hunger Corp practices asset-based community development (ABCD), which means asking what assets a community already has instead of defining the communities by their needs.
- Community engagement best displays the power of the gospel when we own our brokenness and depend on the strength of Jesus Christ.
- God wants to reconcile every square inch of the universe into a right relationship with him, so the question for us is: “What is God calling me to restore back to him?”
