UNITE INDY partners with individuals, suburban churches, business leaders, and public officials to mobilize resources to support urban churches, ministries & charities struggling to help those in need.
"Serving The Servants" Brunch brought more than 50 urban pastors together at the Columbia Club to discuss their challenges. Taken together, their input will help form an outline for UNITE INDY in its work to assist them in the important grassroots work they do. As suburban churches partner with them, as volunteers help with special projects, and as we work together help to grow the influence of each of their churches, our city will experience transformation in our urban core.
Unleavened Bread Cafe invited friends over for great food and some serious fund raising for the cafe-ministry founded by Elease Womack to serve a community in need. Lots of friends were there including Michael Boler of Ready Indy, a UNITE INDY Ministry Partner, who joined with Jim to celebrate and support this hallmark of our caring community at 30th and Central.
Raising the Standard in Indianapolis is not
about trying to transplant suburbia into the inner city. It is about the historical reference of standard bearing. Of lifting the flag of a sovereign to mark the place as his and to rally an army around that flag. We are being called to Nineveh which, for the uninitiated, is the place to which Jonah refused to go and ended up in the whale's stomach for a few days. (But I digress.) We are called to work in Indianapolis. If our real intent is to help those in need, we must answer the call to volunteer and partner with those doing the work. We must raise our standards of love and peace and our standard of service to meet the need. So...to Nineveh?
Spent a Great Morning with
 Jessica Evans, founder of Purchased, an Indianapolis-based ministry that fights human trafficking and a UNITE INDY Ministry Partner. Jim and Nancy were volunteers at Kick for One--a fundraiser kickball tournament between groups of high-octane players who literally had a ball. Jim was an umpire and Nancy, a time and scorekeeper. (Good thing standards for those jobs were not high.) It was all good fun for a great cause!
