Larry James is the President and CEO for Central Dallas Ministries, a human and community development corporation with a focus on economic and social justice at work in inner city Dallas, Texas. Larry’s blog, Larry James Urban Daily, is a repository of ideas, resources, commentary and opinions concerning the issues facing low-income residents of the inner cities of the United States and how mainstream America largely forgets or, worse, ignores the day-to-day realities of urban life for the so-called “poor.” Each day, Larry challenges his audience to a deeper awareness about poverty and social injustices.
In one of his most recent entires, entitled Help Me, James lays out his vision to raise $100,000 to create a housing development in Downtown Dallas designed especially for low-income and homeless persons. I know you may be skeptical, but I believe this is a cause worthy of your investigation. If you’d like more information, just follow the links from this post and check out Larry’s ministry. I urge you to consider if this is a cause you could support.
Wonder if I (someone) write CDM that they would share how they got started. No reason we couldn’t turn the ICCC into something as powerful.
Jason, thanks for the props on our online campaign! Thanks to friends like you who are casting the net among friends, the campaign is working well! Jon, I’d love to talk to you about CDM. Give me a call or shoot me an email. See http://www.centraldallasministries.org
This page might especially be useful:http://www.centraldallasministries.org/cdm/history.htmBasically… let the community lead you. God speaks to us through them.
Jon,These guys would be a great resource for ICC. Shoot them an email and see what you can find out.
