City Catalysts

City Catalysts

A City Catalyst is a key person in any city that begins to:

  • Identify a prospect (in a church or non-profit) who might be interested doing NT,
  • Develops relationships with interested individuals/groups,
  • Promote NT throughout the city,
  • Then trains interested groups at a weekend training,
  • Then coaches the teams as they begin work in their chosen neighborhood.

 

Below are a few of our City Catalysts! Each one is reaching their community in a different way.

Rebecca Ifland

City Catalyst - Kingston, WA

Meet Rebecca Ifland. Rebecca and her husband live in Kingston, WA, a small community of 2,500 people. After homeschooling 8 children over 27 years, Rebecca was ready for a new challenge. As the Lord called her to volunteer in her town, He also led her to Neighborhood Transformation to help her love her neighbors.

One of the simplest things she does has great impact. In an effort to build relationships with the people in her town, she walks everywhere she goes. As she walks, she often talks to the people she passes.

Rebecca is working with the local businesses, non profits, churches and ordinary people and bringing them together to create change in the community.

City Catalyst - Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky

Jim and Phyllis live in the Village of Lockland – a small urban-suburban community immediately outside of the northern City of Cincinnati line.  Their village is divided by the north and south bound lanes of interstate 75 – one of the busiest highway systems in the United States.
