Real Faith’s new sanctuary<\/p><\/div>\n

Real Faith Christian Church was in the middle of a major building campaign when disaster hit. The once thriving congregation was a pillar in the struggling city of Clarksdale, Miss. In 2009, the congregation was in the process of adding onto the current 98-year-old structure that included a gym and fellowship hall for community use, a new sanctuary, classrooms and media room. However, due to a stream of unfortunate events caused by people who didn\u2019t have the church\u2019s best interests at heart, the building project was put on hold indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Employing the principles behind the African proverb \u201cIt takes a village\u2026,\u201d Disciples of Christ ministries are walking alongside Real Faith Christian Church to provide assistance to the congregation. To date, Disciples Church Extension Fund, Disciples Volunteering, Disciples Home Missions, Disciples Women, Great River Region, Reconciliation Ministry, Week of Compassion, National Convocation and Hope Partnership for Missional Transformation<\/a> are helping this church bounce back from this disaster not of their own making by pitching in to help complete the project.<\/p>\n

In addition to construction assistance, this Disciples partnership hopes to raise $150,000 from donations to complete the Real Faith facility and have the growing congregation in their new sanctuary by Easter 2015. Collaborators hope that this effort will become a model for how ministries can work together to serve congregations in the future.<\/p>\n
