Reaching Our Inner City

Each month, Novo Ministries offers the "Reaching Our Inner City" training. This training helps individuals better understand the inner-city culture, motivators, and influencers. Statistics and testimonials are shared to explain the realities facing our inner-city children and communities. This 6-hour training has two parts - "The Environment" and "The People". This training can greatly improve the understanding and effectiveness of anyone involved or interested in reaching the people of our inner city.

Sessions are as follows:


Our City
Understanding the Inner City
What's Hot and What's Not
Education
Gangs
Working with Latinos and Blacks
Developing Relationships with Inner-City Children
Communicating with Inner-City Children
Working with Parents
Casting a Vision Where There Isn't One

Recently, Audra King, a high school teacher at Christian Heritage Academy, attended the ROIC training and shared with us why she came and what she learned:

"I came to the Novo ROIC training because I want to reach people from all kinds of backgrounds and walks of life. Although I have worked in several ministry situations, I did not know how to "bridge the gap" between myself and those in the inner city. In fact, the idea of engaging someone from the inner city was pretty intimidating to me! The information I gained at the Novo training was not only invaluable for myself, but as a teacher at a Christian high school, I hope to use it to challenge and equip my students to effectively reach those around us."
