In her Leadership Network paper How Externally Focused Churches Minister to Children: The Power of Serving Kids in Your Community, Krista Petty offers stories, practical tips, and wisdom from experienced community practitioners working with children. Here's an excerpt:

Omar Reyes, Community Development Director at NorthWood Church, Keller, TX is passionate about mobilizing the church and its resources to make a transformational impact in the local community, especially in the lives of children. “If children aren’t dancing in the community, then something is wrong,” says Omar.
