The subtitle of the book is an actual quote from one of our City Council members. I was asked to make a presentation to the City Council one evening on all the projects we as a church, had partnered with the city on to provide social services to our community.

The subtitle of the book is an actual quote from one of our City Council members. I was asked to make a presentation to the City Council one evening on all the projects we as a church, had partnered with the city on to provide social services to our community. One of the reasons for the report was to introduce the newest partnership, in which we as a church would become the citys official graffiti abatement team. After everyone on the City Council took an opportunity to thank our church for the services we were providing to the community, one of them said, Because of all that The Fathers House is doing in our community, the city is a better place to live in. This is how a church in the community became the communitys church.

Autorenporträt
When the We Love Our City, weloveourcity.org, community outreaches began at our church, we were serving several hundred underresourced people in different ways. After years of learning how to partner with different organizations, we now feed over twenty-five thousand people every month at our food banks in three different cities. Each one of these cities has a population of over one hundred thousand people. On a weekly basis we provide fresh produce to five underserved elementary schools in three cities with a total student population of over five thousand. We work in twenty-five different high-risk neighborhoods representing over ninety blocks on a weekly basis in five different cities. Not included in the twenty-five thousand people we feed at our three food banks are the people we feed every Saturday in five different cities of our Adopt a Block program. Over ninety blocks receive free food every Saturday, and I dont even know how many thousands that is because they do not sign government forms for the donated food, and we dont count; we just serve. We serve as the official graffiti abatement team for two cities and the Napa Valley, manage a community center that provides a free afterschool program and summer program in one of our at-risk neighborhoods. We have free mobile medical clinics and free bookmobiles that travel to those in need of these services. We recently converted what was known at city hall as the Ghetto Trail into a one-acre community garden in the most violent area of the city. We have a mobile hair salon, a mobile dental clinic, and a mobile vision clinic. We supply birthday cakes and free tennis shoes to every child under the age of thirteen in all ninety of our blocks and provide grocery gift cards to the homeless who come and work at our food banks.
