“Cultiv8 will introduce kids, especially kids from underserved communities to the beauty and wonder of nature. That connection with creation will help them become lifelong stewards of this beautiful Earth, and it will also help them come in contact with the Creator. Whether kids or adults, we need the kind of experiences in creation that Rob is so uniquely gifted to cultivate.”
- Brian McLaren, author & activist
“Since the launch of CitySquare Paris, Rev. Rob Spencer has been a champion and a strong voice for creatively addressing poverty alleviation, while also encouraging vital community development. We are excited about remaining connected to his next chapter of exciting ministry. I remain inspired by Rob's deep compassion for all the people of Lamar County and beyond.”
