Pros
Proclaiming the Gospel in deed and word Furthering the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Great opportunity to grow as a person and use and develop skills for ministering to others. Great way to connect with others serving the inner city community. Great variety of opportunities to put your different skills and education to use in service to others. Amazing supervisors and coworkers and clients: Feels like family even years later Comfortable professional work environment
Cons
Opportunity for advancement and use of education and skill set felt somewhat limited within the organizational structure at the time. That may well have changed as much expansion and growth have occurred. Sometimes we had no resources - but that helps you to identify and model the resourcefulness and skill set necessary to thrive and transcend poverty.
