The musings, meditations and whereabouts of a wandering urban theologian, ministry pioneer and singer/songwriter.
Driving to New Orleans
Watching competing cloud clusters and shifting wind currents in fickle gulf streams - watching the crescent earth heal itself of storms it self-inflicts - I ride in under it all like the ant that I am - scurrying for my own crumb to carry back to colonies to which I am obligated - groaning, grieving and growing - deep sigh - like these clouds - a covering.

Rebirth International Exploring Ministry Launch in Mobile, Alabama
Please pray for Mobile, Alabama. There are specific impoverished communities we are interested in targeting in partnership with local church networks for an incarnational ministry launch. I intend to update you soon regarding the status of this initiative but in the meantime I am soliciting your concentrated prayers for this area. Pray especially for the identification of a courageous leader after the heart of God and His Kingdom priorities among the poor. Pray also that God would already be preparing hearts for the harvest. Pray with us that a real opportunity for community transformation might be presented to us there by the Lord of the Harvest! Thank you for partnering with us toward that end.
Update on Mobile
I just had a very productive meeting with a special PCA pastor within the Mobile community. We talked about the ways in which rebirth international can help to serve the cause of his church and vision for ministry expansion within Mobile. We are likely to plan a weekend workshop at his church and intend to offer an urban ministry class through his church to the Mobile community. We are also working together to locate a potential leader for a new ministry launch in the Pritchard area of Mobile, AL. The Pritchard community is an area of concentrated poverty, vast housing projects and urban problems. We also talked about how we might help his church to engage the poverty and unique ministry opportunities surrounding their new church location on Airport Road. Please pray for all of us as we seek to do the Lord’s will and follow Him in His work.
