An Introduction to Asset-Based Community Development for Church Leaders
January 1, 2008 Leave a comment
How do you look at a community? Is it really community? Do people work together? Is it deficient, disabled, filled with problems? OR, is it full of gifts, abilities, and capacities for achieving a better tomorrow?
ABCD helps leaders and communities see themselves as gifted and capable of change. Rather than starting with needs and problems, ABCD starts by harvesting what is already there. ABCD establishes the possibility for Christians and churches today to unleash the capacities of their members and their neighbors in ways that help neighbors succeed and the community improve.
