City Serve: Mobilizing the Church to Transform Communities by Dr. James Dobson

October 6-7, 2022
Guests: Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson

Part 1:
Theologian A.W. Tozer once said, “A scared world needs a fearless church.” When Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, fear was rampant. Five million refugees escaped into nearby countries, while another seven million Ukrainians were displaced. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson, the CEO and President of CityServe International, respectively, proclaim what Satan meant for great harm, God is using for His glory. Over the last few months, CityServe has equipped 1,800 Ukrainian churches and another 1,000 churches in neighboring countries with food and supplies. The ultimate mission is to lovingly care for people and unapologetically proclaim the gospel.

Part 2:
According to Dave Donaldson and Wendell Vinson, the CEO and President of the CityServe International, the ability to mobilize local churches to provide resources to people in need allows for an open door to share the love of Jesus. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton continues his conversation with Dave and Wendell, who highlight the mission of CityServe and the value of stepping up and taking initiative in serving the community. Through the Farmers to Families program and Operation Border Blessing, CityServe has been able to assist churches nationwide and be a distribution anchor to neighborhoods. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
