Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit several organizations in Pittsburgh that are doing tremendous work in urban transformation. These organizations are reaching some of the most vulnerable people in Pittsburgh with the love of Christ in very tangible ways. I am excited about the ways that North Way East End may be able to partner with these folks.
In launching a new church in the city, it is important to remember that we are not bringing God to the city. The Holy Spirit was working through many Christians in the East End before North Way East End arrived, and the Holy Spirit will be working through many different kinds of people in many different ways for years to come. North Way is simply entering into a stream of God's mission that will continue to bring people closer to the Lord. Every day I learn more and more about the East End as I spend time out in the city neighborhoods, and I am encouraged to be a part of what God is doing.
