|  More people at the grass roots level are getting involved in Loving Our Communities to Christ in Tuscaloosa. Multiple congregations are partnering with loving outreach and a prayer-care-share approach to their communities. The Rosedale neighborhood launched Adopt a Neighborhood with a block party in June, calling it Rosedale SummerFest. The day after the Rosedale SummerFest, a young man who participated came forward in the Bailey Tabernacle to receive Christ. In addition, many of the neighborhoods are moving forward with active prayerwalking, expressions of care via other block parties, and intentional building of relationships with local residents. Find out more about Loving Our Communities to Christ on the MAC website. | |
|  The Tuscaloosa Prayer Network is a group of pastors and ministers who believe that in order to achieve God's purpose in their city they must move toward unity among Christians across lines of denomination, race, and culture. The projects planned are designed with unity in mind, and leaders desire to see a continual increase of God's presence and blessing in the city as a result. Tuscaloosa's Mayor Walt Maddox has solicited Christians in the area to partner with city officials to give time and resources to the high crime areas of the city, to bring about change in these communities. Some of the ReachOut groups have started after-school tutoring and Bible studies. A major outreach event in the University of Alabama coliseum (20,000 capacity) is planned for May for young people from the whole state of Alabama with Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The Tuscaloosa Prayer Network is training and mobilizing evangelistic counselors for this event. | |
