Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
The leaders of NCF realized early on that there were generous communities of believers all around the country, and the best way to serve them wasn’t from a single, national office. It was from this realization that NCF’s local, relational model of ministry arose.
In this week’s top story, you’ll hear from local NCF teams who don’t just represent a national office but are local ministries committed to inspiring biblical generosity among those who live, work, and worship God in the places where they live.
When Jess and Angela Correll, seventh-generation Kentuckians, learned the town where they live, Stanford, Kentucky, the second oldest in the state, was being impacted adversely by a diminishing economy, they didn’t just throw up their hands – they got to work.
Watch this video to learn what guides the Corrells, owners of five businesses in town, who are dedicated to the flourishing of their friends and neighbors as they live out the reason they believe God put them in Stanford as they exhibit generosity in their community.
Once upon a time, people knew their neighbors. In this era of unprecedented mobility and increasing isolationism, it’s hard to make lasting connections with those who live right outside our front door. Through compelling true stories, The Art of Neighboring shows us how to create genuine friendships with those who live in closest proximity to us.
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices.... Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted. – Proverbs 11:10-11
