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
