The Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation is the overarching ministry for Neighborhood Transformation taking place in the different cities throughout North America. It is a way to link the different work done in the different cities and is heavily web based. Neighborhood Transformation (NT) trains church lay-people how to enter a nearby poor neighborhood, develop relationships and identify assets already found in the neighborhood in individuals and groups. Building on these assets, the goal is to bring true wholistic transformation and poverty alleviation over time. NT seeks to transform individuals and neighborhoods by helping to address the root causes of poverty, disease and spiritual darkness by equipping local church people to share the gospel and mobilize neighborhood action. We equip neighborhoods how to identify their assets and take responsibility for their own lives by learning to change things that they want to see changed in their neighborhood. NT is multi-faceted, functioning in urban poor neighborhoods NT changes the way people work with the poor, so life for the poor can be forever wholistically changed.
