CSM


Last weekend Krista and I took a group of 9 high school students into inner-city Los Angeles, which by the way is not nearly the full name of the city, and worked with the Center for Student Missions.

It was an amazing weekend. We had a chance to be in worship and prayer from Friday until Sunday, and we did it with some of the most needy, spiritually attuned people you could ever hope to meet. We sang praises with "grandpa" on a street corner, we broke bread, we prayed together, we got on the ground (the cold hard ground) and reminded ourselves of what real need is ...

The list goes on. It was the body at work. We experience church, not the planned 60 minutes of liturgy, but the life of faith lived out in fellowship with the Lord and his people. It was the church gather and the church moving both at the same time.

It was beautiful.

Thank you to those of you that prayed. Thank you to those of you that joined together with us physically. Thank you Jesus.
