Tucker, GA 30084

ABLE/Gamaliel exists to identify leaders, and then nurture, train, and develop those leaders so that together their voices can be heard.  Congregations and community organizations are encouraged to identify leaders and send them to this important workshop.  Topics to be covered include:

• Moving from maintaining an institution to creating a community

• Understanding the concept of "power" as what it takes to get it done

• Reclaiming self-interest as a necessary tool to motivate one's self and to motivate others

• Creating relationships as the pre-requisite to effective evangelization

• Distinguishing between public and private relationships and how to move from co-dependent to healthy, accountable, productive relationships

• Building organizations that can be effective vehicles for social change

Ana Garcia-Ashley, Gamaliel Foundation Southern Territory Director, will be the workshop leader.  A $10 donation is requested to cover lunch and other workshop expenses.  To register, contact Sherita Edwards, ABLE Community Organizer, at 678-271-7443 or Sherita@gamaliel.org .
