Dr. Perkins' visit to the Cedar Valley has created a lot of interest and desire to continue learning about CCD (Christian Community Development)! So exciting to have the encouragement of John Perkins and to see God's movement from past to present.
Since I do best with some structures, I thought I would dedicate Saturdays to post about learnings and musings on this calling and journey called Christian Community Development.
A learning that I'm still learning....
CCD is a lifestyle. It is a philosophy of ministry that God uses to "deconstruct and unlearn" a faulty belief and operating system that the world has formed in us...and it "constructs and teaches" us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2) into a Kingdom of God worldview.
It is not a project. It is not a program. CCD is a new way of seeing and being in the world with Jesus and the Kingdom of God teaching us to do everything he has commanded us to do (Matthew 28:20). As we follow Christ, he reorders our values and lives into His life and Kingdom. This is my ongoing development through CCD...it is really a journey of spiritual growth and discipleship.
