On Friday, January 30, 2014, Coummunity of Faith Assembly and Bishop Tony Minor led a discussion of faith leaders and community members on the subject of community violence. Bishop Minor officially launched the Too Many Guns! Too Much Violence! Coalition designed to inspire to get in battle to save lives. "Now is the time for the church to lift its voice against the growing violence in the city of Cleveland. We must speak against it and take it to the streets to talk with our young people about the value of life and that there are better options in life, " says Bishop Minor. Churches will host community conversations and take part in planning for a solid plan of action to hit the streets and implement Choices Workshops for teens and adults. The coalition will also look at employment and other economic development strategies needed to offer solid options to a life of crime. We will win this war by one block at a time, says Bishop Minor.
Outreach and evangelism has begun within COFA. Matthew 28 days “Go ye therefore...” We have launched Come Alive on Broadway, a 90 day campaign to offer support to our community. Who is your outreach partner? We have asked all to identify an outreach partner and to commit to one day per week. We will do outreach on Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays at noon. We meed at COFA Engel Campus for prayer prior to outreach.
