We are in this together

We are in this together

by Luis Magana, Partner Engagement Director


Imagine a symphony orchestra where each musician plays a different instrument. Individually, they may produce beautiful sounds, but when they come together, something truly magical happens—the music becomes greater than the sum of its parts. This is the essence of synergy.

In the same way, the 'WE 2024' campaign at Mission Adelante celebrates the power of synergy. It doesn't matter where you're from—whether you're from a different country or born right here—we believe that everyone has a valuable role to play in our community.

WE 2024

WHEN “US SERVING THEM” BECOMES “WE”


by Jarrett Meek, Founder, Pastor/Executive Director


It’s hard to put into words the many lessons we’ve learned since Mission Adelante began, way back in 2005.  For me personally, my Spanish has improved, I’ve become much more comfortable in a variety of cultural contexts, and I’ve become a proud resident of “The Dotte”.  But, one of the most important lessons we, as a ministry, have internalized over these 18+ years has to do with “us”, “them”, and “we”.  

Subtly and unconsciously, Mission Adelante began with a beneath-the-surface “us serving them” mindset.  Lots of good intentions and even love, but the privileged “us” was always in the powerful seat of the giver and the needy “them” was always the recipient of our good will - not a recipe for dignity, friendship or genuine community.  Along the way, we learned and grew. “Doing for“ became “doing with”, as we made every effort to empower our neighbors from all places.  Yet, even in the “doing with” there was still an “us” empowering a “them”.  

So what comes after “doing with”?  We’ve discovered that it involves erasing the lines between “us” and “them” to create a new “we”.  That’s it!  In the new we, people from all places thrive and use our gifts together to transform our community.  What does it look like?  It looks like board members from all places, staff from all places, volunteers from all places, people from all places loving people from all places.  Beautiful!
