Working with Elementary Kids Changed This College Student’s Life

Before working with Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP), Sheng Xiong says she felt she was at her lowest point in life. Her job at a fast food restaurant made it difficult for her to balance her college and work responsibilities.

When Sheng received a message to her Fresno State email about an opportunity to work with elementary-aged kids through ENP, “it felt like fate.”

Embrace: CCDA National Conference Reflections

From October 4th-7th, 10 people from the ENP team went to Cincinnati for the Christian Community Development Association National Conference.  This year’s theme was “Embrace,” as we explored embracing love, truth, righteousness, and peace alongside other Christian community development practitioners.  We heard from dynamic speakers, bonded as a team, networked with others from Fresno and around the country, and learned practical tips from others serving in similar contexts.

Why Fresno Churches Need to be Connected for Lasting Impact

Fresno has the highest concentrated poverty rate in California, 8 in 10 students are struggling to read at grade level, and many families are experiencing food insecurity.

For those who are led by the teachings of Jesus, apathy and non action are not viable responses to these realities.

“[If you believe] that everybody [is] made in the image of God…You have to care about the people who live next door!

Joe White, Pastor of Neighborhood Church

But where does a church begin to address this issue? How can a church address the struggles our city faces in a lasting, meaningful way?

Put simply, they can’t. Not alone.

Sabbatical Reflections

I am back. You may not have known, but I took a 9-week sabbatical. Wanted to share publically a couple of reflections, learning lessons, and some takeaways.

General Reflections:

Just want to start off with a big thank you. This sabbatical could only be possible because of the staff, board, and community that supports ENP. This is a new practice for us as an organization and the first time for me. Because of such a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy staff, I could leave knowing that things would be handled. Thank you.

The 1 sentence summary is… that I had a lot of fun with my family, deepened the focus on my marriage, learned more about myself, and put into place some spiritual practices that can help anchor me in the next season of work at ENP and life in general.
