Churches doing ABCD in their neighborhoods?

ABCD and Faith Communities

I was actually wondering about churches in the U.S. that I could visit. Are there any closer than Australia? On another note, why do you think there aren't more using ABCD?

Churches doing ABCD in their neighborhoods?

ABCD and Faith Communities

Does anyone know of any churches doing ABCD in their neighborhoods instead of traditional charity/service-style community ministries? I am a Presbyterian pastor wanting to learn how to shift a church's traditional mission ministry (soup kitchen, Thanksgiving food boxes, Christmas Angel Tree, etc.) to ABCD-style partnerships with local neighborhood residents and groups. I understand the concepts of ABCD and have seen the workbook material, but I'd love to talk to other pastors who have actually gone through this transformation with their churches. I have read about Broadway UMC in Indianapolis. Are there any other churches out there who are really active in this way? Thanks for your help!
