Excellent job @anxious_maria. Many lessons to be learned from #Uvalde, including the importance of having an emergency plan, knowing & practicing training protocols -- by responders and by organizations (eg schools)... #bettertogether.

It’s been one year since 21 people were killed in a school shooting in Uvalde. The mass shooting and delayed police response have spurred calls for stricter gun laws, including from families of the victims.

Loved it.
#TheChurch could learn a lot from 1st-responders, re mission that’s urgent & important.
#missiology
P.S... Fire-fighters don’t invite residents to the firehouse to pick up water.

What solutions might become obvious at the national level, to assist/support @cityreaching networks as they attempt to help the #immigration community near their churches?
Zoom hours for the various language groups?
Great interview of two Haitian pastors in Indianapolis, in the @FHLCommunityInc network of Missional Food Pantries.
Insights for all of us re the myriad of issues/solutions among the #immigration community.
#TheChurch can act to bless our neighbors.
