Off to New York City!

Tomorrow morning, I'll leave for New York City with a dozen or more student and adult leaders from Waxhaw Bible Church. We'll be in NYC to be trained at NYSUM (New York School of Urban Ministry). We'll have the opportunity to serve in food kitchens, homeless shelters, and to do homeless and Jewish street evangelism. We'll be there until Friday, July 6.

Please pray for me and the members of our group as we undertake this mission trip and seek to serve the less fortunate citizens of New York City. Please pray specifically for safety in travel to and from NYC and around the city as we move from location to location.

Please also pray for Leah and Christie, who will remain in Waxhaw while I'm gone.

Praise the Lord for a great first two weeks at my new job. I'm enjoying the environment and team members very much. They were very generous to let me take a week off to go to NYC and another week later in July to go to Norfolk, VA, even though I just started my work assignment there.
