This is a picture of the inner city church that we are working with (the one in the middle). They actually had God perform a miracle and they own this facility free and clear.... unheard of in NY!
I got back home yesterday after checking on and encouraging our team there. We also did some planning for future teams to this needy place. The team is working with a dear friend, Pastor Abner Rosario and his great church. East-Side Tabernacle is located in the lower east side of Manhattan and is surrounded by almost a half of million people that Jesus loves. The team is helping the church to form a new and consistent homeless ministry. They also have been blanketing the apartment complexes around the church with thousands of fliers and ministering in nightly services. Many have been encouraged and have come to Christ. This church has really been challenged and they have just loved this team. One of our former interns is actually leading this group and is doing a fantastic job!
I flew in to be with our NY team for a couple of days directly from Wisconsin. After having a great time in NY, I arrived in back KC around 10:00 pm Wednesday night. This is really a fun part of my calling... it is such a privilege to serve Christ!
Tomorrow I leave for Vancouver, Washington to speak at a men's/leadership event and to be with the church for a full Sunday.
I will post the last blog teaching in the "Your Story" series sometime next week.
