In the most clinical of terms, SENTralized is:
A conduit that connects spheres of influence for the purpose of mobilizing unused potential.
The resources necessary to bring about community-altering change are already here. There are countless organizations and individuals that are willing to help, but fear, personal grudges and agendas hold us back from moving lock-step. It is up to us to activate our potential.
Working with churches.
Most of the efforts of this organization have been centered around the church community. In our culture, the church is a place that many seek refuge and assistance. In this way, churches have an awesome opportunity to reach out to the community. Many of them are looking for the most effective methods for outreach.
SENTralized hopes to maximize the impact that churches, faith organizations, businesses and individuals can have in the community by connecting, reinforcing and mentoring leaders. SENTralized is not a religious organization and is open to people of all religious and spiritual backgrounds.
Mobilization as necessity for change.
Many people attend church, but few attendees are truly active. Many people belong to organizations or are employed, but have yet to see where their potential can take them.
If we hope to make the vast changes necessary to restore hope to our communities, then we will have to energize and engage these people. How can we best mobilize our untapped energy? SENTralized works to accomplish this through mentoring leaders both in and out of churches or organizations.
Truth be told…we have yet to see how this can work out, but we are willing to remain in wonder as it continues to grow. Join us for an upcoming Cross Collaboration or leave a comment. We invite you to take the ride with us.
