Atlanta Cohort Planning Blog

we discussed a number of things last night at the cohort and I'll post them seperately...

With the aim to raise a good chunk of money for amahoro africa project (and specifically for African nationals to travel to this conference organized by african naitonals) we want a title that holds the following:

1. cooperating artists raising funds to
2. equip african leaders/ African voices
3. to make change in thier world

here is the description of Amahoro from thier web site

Amahoro Africa is a place where African voices, African leaders, African methods and solutions come together to address African issues together with non African friends of Africa.
We are a community of emerging, young leaders committed to the rediscovery of God’s original design for His church in Africa . We believe that this means a complete integration of the key elements that define the local church in mission: evangelism, discipleship, worship, community service, and a prophetic role. We believe that the integration of all of these elements with an appreciation of the African culture, position the local church as the hope for its community.

our other goals include:
4. accessibility for conference attendies looking to "experience" emergent, for what ever we are.
5. proximity to Columbia Seminary in Decatur.

we fealt like the goal of raising funds sets our taret audience far ahead of conference attendies to lovers of the arts.

so what do you think?
