Downtown Windsor, Ontario
With neighbours in Waawiyatanong (Downtown Windsor), the team lives in a refugee settlement neighbourhood of people fleeing war and oppression, cultivating an intercultural Christian community, developing leaders and seeking the Kingdom of God (like treasure hidden in the neighbourhood) through prayer, hospitality, community development, and a coffee social enterprise called Full Bloom.
In the neighbourhood that has the highest concentration of poverty in the city and county (Essex County gave the immediate neighbourhood a "quality of life" score of 4.3/100), the team is inspired by the vision of Isaiah 58 and 61 to work collaboratively with others toward holistic renewal with neighbours in job skills training and women's economic empowerment, holistic mentoring, community organizing around pressing issues, access to bicycles and repair workshops, and breaking down tribalism by bringing diverse populations together and investing in youth to be peacemakers in the city.
Location: Windsor, ON N9A

Ruth and Sam are hoping to support the formation of InnerCHANGE teams in other Canadian cities as well, to see followers of Jesus and local leaders marked by merciful action, transformative contemplation, and prophetic justice. If you have questions about this process, you can contact us as well.
InnerCHANGE is a Christian organization that is cultivating followers of Jesus at the margins.
