Partnership:
We invite people to partner with us in four different ways:
1) Praying for us and supporting us emotionally. Because what we do can often times be challenging and emotionally draining we greatly value people who pray for us and offer words or letters of encouragement.
2) Investing in interests we believe in. This means giving life and resources to ministries that are modeling many of the principles of Dignity Serves. Some examples are; being involved in a Dignity Serves study, supporting Polis Institute in prayer, supporting the coffee shop in our community; Community Grounds communitygrounds.org, giving to Pride for Parents prideforparents.org during Christmas time, funding some of the initiatives through Polis Institute polisinstitute.org or funding a ministry that is implement Asset Based principles around the globe like 410 Bridge www.410bridge.org.
3) Partnering with us financially through a monthly donation of $25, $50, $100 or more. To do so, go to polisinstitute.org/donate, click on "Donate Securely Online", then "Click here to pay now", then fill out the blanks and put "Atlanta" under projects as this designates it for us.
4) Referring us to family or friends who would be interested in hearing about what God has called us into as Urban Missionaries.
