Can We Make a Difference?

So this morning I'm reading this article by Rick Warren on the power of the church to network for the relief of suffering and the power of the gospel to impact change in the world. I'm reading it because Dave Ferguson wrote about it on his blog.
All this made me begin to wonder, "What could we really do in our community if we seriously worked together not just as an individual church but as a network of churches?" What would it look like if the churches of Fort Wayne decided that No Child Left Behind was not going to be left on the pages of political history, but actually was a goal worth embracing? What could we accomplish together if every church in Fort Wayne decided to adopt a school in their immediate neighborhood as well as one that was in a lower economic area of the region? What would it look like for churches to create Community School Organizations?
If each CSO brought people from different churches together in conversation with teachers, administrators, and parents to see what can be done in supporting the educators and students with supplies that might be needed, mentors that might work alongside students, and prayer that supports and encourages the work of everyone in the schools (off site and out of sight because this shouldn't be a political issue). Could we change the future of this community? could we give kids in Fort Wayne a chance to succeed beyond what they expect? If each church in the City of Churches contributed to a scholarship fund, could we send every kid to college or trade school?
Where would this idea go if we could network together to dream bigger than any of us could dream alone?
