Excerpt from Central Dallas Ministies site:
…..Our mission drives us deep into these wonderful and challenging areas as we work hand-in-hand with our neighbors to change, shape, build and in many cases "reinvent" community.
Working in schools, rallying churches and encouraging and strengthening families is what we are all about at Central Dallas Ministries……We make no apology for the fact that a living and active faith fuels our work. We are committed to realizing racial reconciliation in our community. We love the neighborhoods where we work. As a matter of fact, many of us live where we work. We believe in "reneighboring" the areas we seek to renew. It is exciting, challenging and rewarding work!

Shootout was held at 11:30 am. This year, Mission Waco’s “Caring Cup” hosted an awards dinner after the scramble. Be sure you have your calendar blocked for September 2008. And it’s a great way to support Mission Waco programs.
