Midland, Michigan Interview: Part 1

Matt and Adam are joined this week by the Mayor of Midland, Michigan, Maureen Donker, as well as Alysia Christy from the Cultural Awareness Coalition in Midland. They share their stories of what intentional neighboring is doing for their community. In Part 1, we hear from Mayor Donker and next week in Part 2, we will hear from Alysia.

"...if we are supposed to love our neighbor, we need to know who our neighbor is." And I thought, "Brilliant! How hard is that???""- Maureen Donker on how they got started.

"So we have deepened the conversation to where everyone could find a piece where they could fit in."- Maureen Donker on how the concept of getting involved with neighboring can be applied not only to church outreach but to schools and businesses, safety meetings, etc. How much safer is the community/school/business/church/etc when people know each other?
