What is the strategy for exiting a community?
FH’s commitment to working with a community is typically seven to twenty years. Over this time period, FH seeks maximum impact to significantly decrease long-term dependency issues. This time frame allows the field staff to build into the lives of the people in the community and offer wisdom, spiritual training and a Biblical worldview while demonstrating the love of Christ. We clearly communicate to the community that the C2C church will exit with FH when the program is completed. The U.S. church may consider transitioning into a new relationship with a nearby community or perhaps with a community in a different country. If the new community is in close proximity to the original community, team visits can include trips to both communities for a transition period. When the work is completed in a community, the field will send a celebration report which will include the progress made in the hearts, minds and physical surroundings of the community.
