On The Incarnation & Partnering
As we approach Christmas Eve, we are reminded of how God used us flawed, yet willing humans to carry out his plan to redeem humanity by presenting the world with a baby: Jesus. As he grew into childhood, then the teen years, and finally into adulthood, he lived among us and experienced life, in its joys and sorrows, just as we do, yet without sin.
This reminds us today that we are called to be in and among, to be present, with one another in the local community.
We celebrate all of our school partners, church partners, and social service partners who work by our side in bringing hope to families in the Portland area through the means of mentoring. Together, we are examples of Jesus in every corner of this city each week. (Visit our partners page).
Consider supporting us this year as we inspire growth, resilience, and hope. And pray that our open lines of communication and partnership with services (educational, social, faith-based) will continue and grow as we build upon what we are already doing to serve more children.
Do you represent or know of a good potential partnering organization? We’d love to chat with you!
