Ft. Wayne Christians
Ft. Wayne Wiki... working & learning together.
Today's new collaborative tool for working & learning together.... is a
'wiki'.
It's the Hawaiin term for 'quick'. They're quick, easy and FREE -- a perfect tool for learning about collaborative Christian efforts, city-by-city, neighborhood-by-neighborhood.
Today, Fort Wayne chimes in...

Thanks Jon & Adam for helping grow the Fort Wayne Christian Wiki.

We wanted to specially acknowledge and thank
Pastor Otha Aden (Southern Heights Baptist Church) for
bringing his friend, Dr. John Perkins and sharing him with the community this weekend... including a chapel time at Taylor FW, a luncheon for pastors & leaders, and for a dialog time with the Indianapolis pastors, professors, & other leaders who traveled to Ft. Wayne as a part of the
Transform Indiana ministry networking initiative. The trip was sponsored by
Crossroads Bible College, in Indianapolis.

Also we're greatly appreciative of Dean Ron Sloan, Academic Dean at
Taylor University Ft. Wayne for expediting and hosting today's events.
