'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events Networking mentors.... to change lives & communities
"American children are more likely to be murdered, poor, pregnant, drug-dependent or incarcerated than the children of any other industrialized country."
Tuesday's special speaker at the Transform Indiana ministry network (of networks), was Dr. Virgil Gulker, Founder of Kids Hope, USA. We learned of their ministry via our Transform Indiana connection in Grant County (Marion, Indiana)... Jack Brady, a CBMC leader in the city, who also serves on the Advisory Commission for the Governor's Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives.
Some background on how/why the topic was vitally important...
Pastor James Carter... outreach director for our host church today, Oasis of Hope Baptist Church... updated everyone regarding our vision to help recruit 1,000 mentors among the various mentoring programs for the inner-city here in Indianapolis.
