LAUP in full swing!

I've just finished the orientation week of the Los Angeles Urban Project.

All of you who are supporting me--THANK YOU--I can't tell you how great it feels to get to be a part of such a PHENOMENAL program. We have 50 WONDERFUL students: they are hungry to grow, eager to learn, and in less than a week have become a powerful community of prayer and faith. The past two nights we've already had more powerful prayer and intercession times than I've had in years, and together we're seeing God respond to our prayers!

Teaching and leading these students over this past week has already been one of the most natural and satisfying ministry experiences I've had.

Now that our week is done, students have been equipped to understand the spiritual dynamics behind poverty and injustice in the inner city and have been introduced to God's deep heart of compassion for those in need, as well as his invitation to them to participate in bringing healing, renewal, and redemption to the inner city.

Today is the first day students are out on their urban ministry sites. I look forward to tell you the stories of what God does in and through them, and who they will become over the next six weeks.
