A ministerial alliance called ‘Operation Cooperation’ is organizing in Habersham County. The alliance is aimed at bringing churches of all denominations together to meet the needs of the local community. Bobby Tyler is spearheading efforts to form the alliance through the support of Habersham United Believers (HUB).
Tyler says the aim of Operation Cooperation is to create a coordinated approach to charitable giving and outreach ministry in the community. “There’s a lot of help out there but it’s not coordinated,” Tyler says. “The thing is to take everything that’s already out there that’s working – for example, the Habersham Homeless Ministry, Sharing and Caring, HUB – and find a way so that they can all work together.”
Ultimately, the goal is to develop a centralized location where people who need help can come and find the information and resources they need. “Instead of each church taking its time and its administration (to manage benevolence programs) it can take the same amount of funds that it was putting into that and funnel it into the main group and the main group makes sure it all gets done,” Tyler explains.
An organizational minister’s conference for Operation Cooperation will be held this Wednesday, January 28, at 1pm at the Habersham EMC building on Hwy. 115 in Clarkesville. All ministers in Habersham County are encouraged to attend.
