Community Transformations Ministries

In 2009 we took part in a YWAM (Youth with a Mission) DTS which was linked to a great ministry our friends Jeff and Beth Reid run called Community Transformations.

Community Transformations train and send out short term missionaries to focus locations (currently Cape Town, South Africa, Boulder ,Co.  and New York City), engaging with long term missionaries and churches to see transformation in the communities they work in.  We think very highly of the work our friends do, and our understanding and passion in how to do missions are very much the same. Jeff and Bethany are full time voluntary staff members with YWAM, to find out more about them and ways to support them head over to their website here.

All ministries which students of their DTS join or start must be transformation focused and must share Jesus. This means that instead of building a house, Community Transformations will find locals and teach them how to build a house, sharing Jesus and discipling them as they go.

This enables them to multiply what they learned, provide for their families, and understand that Jesus is not only going to church but is every part of life.

Below is the Vision of Community Transformations:

“Imagine a reversal of AIDS statistics in South Africa or a dramatic drop in crime in New York City. Imagine communities stepping out of poverty because they have been taught how to farm and grow their own food.  Imagine major corporations closing child-r sweatshops because of a newfound desire to treat employees with dignity, no matter what their age or race.”
