Fresno City Summit recognizes that the church of Fresno is in a dire need for a fresh vision of hope and unity. We long for a city where all people, regardless of their race, class, gender, or sexual orientation receive access to the life-changing hope and implications of a Jesus-centered community in their neighborhood. Jesus invites us, his followers, to make the Kingdom known through our proclamation and our deeds.
At City Summit 2017 we celebrated the redemption that has happened, named the hard realities of our city and complexity of emerging leadership, and dreamed together about how God would call us to make all things new.
As we closed, we asked, in response to what you have heard, experienced and shared with others at City Summit, what will be your next step within 30 days? Here's just a few responses:
- "I will look deeper into human trafficking.”
- “I will read Generous Justice by Tim Keller.”
- “I will dig deeper on justicia/injusticia en Fresno and meet with a faith leader to help discern my role en justicia in Fresno.”
- “I will learn more about immigration and meet with a person who champions these issues.”
- “I will listen, listen, listen.”
- “I will talk to someone who is learning how to navigate different cultures.”
- I commit to learn more about rural communities… I will seek and pray and ask God what he’d like me to do.”
- I will serve at FIRM.”
- “I will learn more about my true self with God.”
Praise God! … and may your Kingdom come in Fresno as it is in heaven…
