Partnering for Compassion Ministries The SBCV Mobilization Team is working with churches, Send Relief (NAMB) and community organizations to help build relationships and partnerships for effective missional work in our communities. These partnerships will work in several ways.
1. Send Relief Quick Start Guides
and Training — working in concert with Send Relief, the Mobilization Team is making available training and resources to help churches start various compassion ministries to fight poverty, reach internationals and refugees, and serve their communities. 2. Arise 2 Read — the national literacy program Arise 2 Read is available to SBC of Virginia churches. The SBCV Mobilization Team is working with the Virginia Department of Education to help get churches access to tutor children through this program. Petersburg City
Public School have already adopted the program and will be working with our team for training and implementation. The Danville City Schools have been identified by the State DOE as a pilot program for Arise 2 Read. A pastor fellowship has already convened to explore the possibilities of a partnership between churches, local schools, and local ministries. 3. Compassion Ministries Connection Centers — Partnership opportunities are available in Northern Virginia alongside Hope Hill Church (John Kuzins) and Hope Community Center (Ayman Lolas) to explore developing multiple training and ministry center to serve the nations and neighborhoods of Northern Virginia and Washington DC. The goal is to have places where churches can partner in the community and for churches from around the Commonwealth to come and learn how they can replicate these ministries and partnerships in their own communities.
