God is rapidly urbanizing the world. For the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural areas. Followers of Jesus must learn how to navigate through the complexities of urban life. This blog documents my urban adventures both in Pittsburgh and in cities around the world. This is my personal blog, and my views may not necessarily reflect the views of North Way Christian Community, Bakke Graduate University, or any other organizations.

Grand Opening
The grand opening of the North Way East End church last Sunday was absolutely incredible! God showed up in amazing ways, and God was glorified! The worship experience was powerful, the biblical message really impacted people, and people really connected with one another. On a personal level, it was a meaningful day for me. I love to be a part of advancing the kingdom of God in cities, and I love Pittsburgh, so it was great to be a part of God doing something new in the city of Pittsburgh. Our church is going to be cross-cultural, and we will continue to contextualize the gospel of Jesus Christ in the urban context of the East End of Pittsburgh. We are a missional church congregation that impacts the world throughout the week. We are a church focused on prayer as a foundation for everything that goes on. We are a church of relationships, not programs. And most of all, our focus is on glorifying God in the city. If we keep our focus on God, then things will work out according to his purposes. I love this calling!
