Wow, it is hard to believe that we are half way through August!
The two speaking engagements that I had have come and gone. They both went very well. I spoke about my fears and excitement and how I believe God is bringing redemption to the city. Not only is God redeeming Chicago, but God is redeeming communities all around. When I spent a week with INTRSCT for spring break back in 2008, that was one idea that stuck with me. God wants to redeem any geographical location through whoever lives there. He does call people to move to new places, but he also enables his followers to serve where they are. Part of the Urban Dwelling experience is understanding what it means to live intentionally wherever you are. I'm praying that this experience will help me understand that better.
In my earlier post I wrote about the money I need to raise to spend this year in Chicago. I am happy to say that I am about 80% funded! God has been so good! Thank you for helping me on this journey! It wouldn't be possible without you all!
God Bless
