I've talked to residents both inside and outside of New Brunswick, and it seems pretty clear: there are some tough neighborhoods in the city. One of the greatest calls we have as a Jesus community is to bring transformation through (among some other key initiatives) our being a multiethnic, multi-socioeconomic family. Will this be tough? For sure. But that doesn't mean we stop living out Jesus' commands to do so.

Here are some interesting stats to ponder and pray over:

Prayer Points:

1. For God to prepare our core team to be able to definitively and substantially live out and effect Jesus' transformation in the above areas. 

2. For Ethnos NB to be an example of Jesus' reconciliation and love between all peoples.
