I had one of those weeks of urban ministry that was intense and rewarding. There is no better feeling than to give my all to God's mission, and then to be able to experience the profound transformation that God brings about in the lives of people that I have grown to love and appreciate. This past week I was able to mentor young men that I've been investing in for eight years, I was able to preach a live sermon with my congregation at East End, I was able to prayer walk the streets of East Liberty, I was able to baptize people and worship for a long time with a passionate group of followers of Jesus at a worship night, and I was able to invest in many relationships in Homewood, the East End, and around the city of Pittsburgh. Every step of the way, I was reminded that I'm completely dependent on God for every single part of the ministry that I have been called to be a part of. God is in complete control, and God's love transcends every situation. There were extremely difficult moments in this past week, and there were joyful break throughs. God was there at every single step of the journey. I'm excited to see what God has in store for this week. I'm starting to really love this whole pastor thing!
