Choosing to Stay

Working with God to restore broken cities

What do you do when you're uncomfortable? What's your response when there's an awkward moment in conversation, someone disregards your need for personal space, or you feel your physical safety is at risk? It's easy to just leave, to remove yourself from the situation.

But what if your very neighborhood began feeling uncomfortable. Would you leave and miss out on what God might do through you there?

Yvette Rock, an artist in Detroit, saw that people were fleeing the city, and she chose to stay put, to work alongside God to restore her home. With Isaiah 58 as her inspiration, she's committed to restoring the city. Watch the video of her story from our sister ministry This Is Our City.

Does God call us to work in our neighborhoods? To help restore the broken in our cities?
How might small groups be especially suited for working in the community?
What impact is your small group having on your city?
