Complicate the Single Stories in Hollywood in 2014!

 Blessings as we begin 2014!

We aim to dig into the debilitating and isolating nature of the "single story" in our work this year.

Come as a Discover group and ask questions like these: are homeless individuals lazy or scam artists or neither?  can I learn about God from a former gang member, from someone living on the streets? what can I actually do to help the racism of today?www.doornetwork.org/discover


 Come work in Hollywood as part of our summer Discern team, alongside local young adults studying what it means to follow Jesus in Los Angeles.  Ask questions like:
is God indeed working here in the city?  is LA only a scary, crime-infested city where only movie stars can "rise above" it all?  or are they most in danger of missing the point? www.doornetwork.org/discern


Come spend a year living in intentional Christian community as a Dweller in a predominately Central American immigrant neighborhood and ask questions like:  Who would Jesus deport?  Can Christians effect change in systems that seem to glorify the rich and criminalize the poor?   Can I get along with someone from another denomination? From another culture?  am I difficult to live with? www.doornetwork.org/dwell

Come for a day, a week, a summer, or a year.  We look forward to asking questions and seeking God's truth together.


In Peace,
Matthew and Marvin
