A Weekend with Bob Lupton
From charity to development…to transform a city!
January 14-16, 2012
Sponsored by the churches and ministries of The Co-Op*
Bob Lupton, author, community developer and founder of Atlanta-based Focused Community Strategies (FCS) will be a guest to our city over the Martin Luther King, Jr weekend, January 14-16. He will be speaking to ministry and marketplace leaders out of his 40 years of experience with neighborhood transformation and how charity hurts the very people we try to help.
