Hello all!!
Team NYC has arrived in NYC and hit the streets bright and early!! It has been incredible to see such great contrast from skyscrapers to huge parks. Most of us were up and raring to go at 3am yesterday what a day moving and grooving until Midnight!!
We all met up with some people from Communitas, Craig and Chris Mayes, Tim Kelly ,Dave and Michelle Alexander(their daughter Sarah even came along for the stroller ride), and Maggie Durkee. We broke up into Teams to experience the city and get our barings!! Eyes and hearts were open to the 97% of the population who do not have a relationship with the Lord. There is an a lot of hustle, so a friendly smile and a little conversation have been amazing to see joy come to people faces as we share the love of Jesus through our smiles.
We are having a bit of trouble with the computer, but pictures will be coming soon!!
Keep us and the People of New York in your prayers!!

Hello, NYC team!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all made it safe. I love you, Alex! I am praying for you like crazy.
I hope you all are excited for what God has in store for each and every one of you this week! This trip is so close to my heart. Be prepared! Be prepared to form relationships and friendships and bonds that surprise you...because "it's only one week." Be prepared to go out of your comfort zones, and to see God work radically. Open your eyes and heart to His love and mission for you, everywhere you go!
Iggy--I love you and am so proud of you. I wish I was there with you! You are a fearless leader, filled with the love and humility that God has so graciously blessed you with. Be strong! God will bless you with the energy you feel like you're lacking.
I LOVE YOU!
Love,
Sissy

"Jesus came and told his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'" Matthew 28:18-20
