Gathering at NAYA
On July 24, MACG leaders went to the NAYA campus for a presentation on their guiding principles and relationship building.
Our third local event this year with NAYA was powerful, as we were invited to catch a glimpse of the Relational Worldview Model that guides NAYA, as well as NAYA's 50-year vision forward as they celebrate their 50th anniversary!
25 MACG leaders gathered with NAYA staff in table groups and shared responses to these questions:
- What part of the Relational Worldview Model resonates with you?
- What did you hear in NAYA’s vision that resonates with you?
- What part of the vision might you want to be part of (yourself, or with your faith community or MACG)?
- What are you excited to learn more about?
The discussions included:
- An appreciation for the Relational Worldview Model
- The importance of developing relationships
- Awe at NAYA's nimbleness in addressing community needs
- An interest in organizing together on housing issues
- The role of elders in building new leaders
- Practical application over theory
- The embodiment of the vision in the people
