No project begins perfectly. And it doesn’t need to. But it does begin with intention—with a church asking, What do we have? and How can we offer it in a way that truly serves our neighbours? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuMXV7CCuk

The first step toward meaningful impact isn’t action—it’s awareness. Churches that are serving well didn’t jump into solutions. They started by slowing down. Paying attention. And asking questions like, ‘Who in our community is carrying something heavy?’ ‘Where are the gaps—and how can we walk alongside the people already doing good work? These answers don’t come from assumptions, but from listening—building relationships, asking questions, and letting the community guide the response.

Across Canada, churches are rethinking what it means to serve their communities. Not by launching big programs—but by slowing down… and paying attention. They’re asking simple but powerful questions: What do we already have? And who can we come alongside? Some began by asking their community what was missing.
