When you grow up in the south there is little more eerie then going to church on Sunday morning and realizing that there is no one else in town headed to worship the Lord. Baltimore seems to be dead both figuratively and spiritually on Sunday morning. Sure there are your joggers and your people getting ready for the big game down at Camden Yards.... but this Sunday when we headed out to church I was blown away by the lack of activity. I knew that few people attended a church in this city but I was again reminded of why the Lord brought us here.
The Lord is good. As we officially moved in last week we found ourselves encouraged by the openness of the people, the desire for community, and the broadness of diversity. This is going to take a lot of work but we are excited about how we can serve the Lord in Baltimore. We are however, still in desperate need of your prayer and financial support. We have only 30% of our support raised but continue to press on knowing the Lord will provide. Please continue to pray that the Lord would give us wisdom in sharing His Word.
Cheers!
