Missional Partnership: Help Wanted In Winnipeg
Summer is just around the corner and I am excited to say that plans for The Dusty Cover (our missional third place bookstore, which is likely to be renamed prior to opening) are coming together wonderfully. We have thousands of books donated, some plans in place for serving the community and a location confirmed. We are slowly receiving interest from a few willing to invest some financial sponsorship.
However, as we plan and pray, we are increasingly convinced that we (YWAM) need to find a local group/church to partner with us in this endeavour. In order to develop an effectively missional stance in the community, we feel that we are stretched a tad thin with a recent staff change over. Further, we see it as an opportunity to build bridges within the Christian community in our attempt to build bridges in our neighbourhood and city. Granted, forging such a partnership is no easy task, so we are moving forward with this very carefully.
For those of you in Winnipeg and are interested in this possibility (or know someone else who might), drop me a note. For those too far away for such a partnership, we are still looking for sponsorship partners as well. Above all, we are looking for the prayer support of everyone in this exciting venture. We aim to open doors by the end of the summer at the latest.
