We meet each Saturday at City of Refuge on the west side of Atlanta at 10:30 AM. After an orientation, we break out into groups of 4 or 5, with at least one or two team members in each group. We go through the surrounding neighborhood to continue building friendships, looking for possible mentoring relationships, and connecting community members to resources, including small groups. These groups serve as support/equipping platforms that can be centered around single moms, G.E.D. classes, or any number of topics/life situations. As leaders are trained in these small groups, a Leader's group begins. The community continues to develop and transform as its own members are trained in how to turn and equip others in the community. This is the essence of how BWAB works.
