| The
Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighbourhood.
(John 1:14, The Message).
Jesus lived and moved among
those he came to serve.
In
a similar way, churches
today are seeking new
ways to bring healing
and transformation to
the lives of people isolated
by their spiritual, relational
and economic poverty.
Diaconal
Ministries Canada offers
the following resources
to diaconates, churches
and community organizations
involved in, or seeking
to discover opportunities
for, ministry in their
neighbourhood and local
community.
- A
Community
Opportunity Scan,
will help a church discern
how God is calling its
people to use its gifts
to touch the lives of
people in the community.
- Operation
Manna provides development
services and funding
to support the growth
of new community ministries
across Canada. If you
are a current Operation
Manna partner organization,
you can download a Renewal

- DMC

are available to facilitate
workshops
that explore how and
why a church can reach
out to its community.
