Forging urban ministry

Published on Saturday, May 17, 2008 Jodi and Rodney Matthews are building relationships on a foundation of love and caring.

from ABJ:
Urban Vision, which was founded in 1992 and incorporated in 1993, inherited all of the disrepair and is still seeking volunteers to fix things up.

The ministry is looking for religious institutions or organizations to adopt a room, particularly the 13 bathrooms in the building. Other needs include five residential boilers; makeovers for the commercial kitchen and playground area; restoration of the gas line to the kitchen stove and hot water tank and masonry work on the building"

With a demographic of assisting a small number of people, if you inherit something you cannot afford, you liquidate it and downsize into what you can afford, instead of begging a small community that you are supposed to be serving.

In the meantime, with no financial resources, the original Methodist church building is falling apart, since the current caretakers have pockets smaller than their brains.
