Its a method of community development that is started, owned, and sustained locally. From their website:
Community Health Evangelism (CHE) seamlessly integrates evangelism and discipleship with disease prevention and community based development. The work is wholistic, seeking to meet the whole need of individuals and communities through complete obedience to everything Jesus commanded. Read more about CHE at this link.
Now onto the actual goal: Host a vision seminar with 20-30 participants.
What is a vision seminar? Its a two day event, hosted by One Mission led by a CHE representative. This event explains the vision, the purpose, and some of the methods behind the CHE program.
Who attends? Because we're in a unique location with multiple American based NGO's and a plethora of local church leaders we are going to be hosting an English and Spanish vision seminar. Pastors, organization leaders, lay leaders, teachers, even government officials can and should attend the vision seminar. We haven't sent out the actual invites yet so we're keeping the roster under wraps until they've had a chance to confirm their attendance:)
What happens next? Thats the beauty of it. After the vision seminar some people naturally want to do it and the others don't. Its the people that believe in the vision that take the next step. The beauty behind this whole concept is that it is owned by locals and we (as an American NGO) get to support in whatever way we possibly can.
Stay tuned for our next post: Increasing the volunteer hours required to receive a home from 45 to 200!
