"Our city is what it is because it is a direct reflection of the people
that live in it!"
Mark Harris, Community Leader
From that
statement a discussion ensued that became the basis for "4Tucson." Christians from across the city have tried
for years to make a positive difference in Tucson, but have been frustrated with
the enormity of the problems.
Because the problems in our community are
so large, many Christians have come to believe that the problems of our city can
only be solved throught a political solution. Other Christians have tried to
organize their churches and small groups to do acts of kindness to the most
needy in our community only to find that the needs quickly out strip the
available resources and it doesn't take long for the people involved to
burnout.
"4 Tucson" is unapologetically made up
of Christians from all denominations and all walks of life who have a deep
desire to make a positive difference in our city.
