Inspiration

Today, I read a magazine article called A New Kind of Urban Ministry by Andy Crouch. In this article, Crouch, references Bible stories found in Exodus. I wont type out in entire article, that would take too long. But, in a nutshell, he is starting up a project called This Is Our City. This project will be based in 6 different cities that can be found on their website, ThisIsOurCity.org. Throughout this article he talks about flourishing cities. When Jesus entered Jerusalem with his disciples, he saw prosperity. Like Christ, Andy Crouch sees prosperity in the down-trotten cities in America. They are praying and interceding for these cities as they go out and make an impact for the Kingdom of God. They are reaching out to others in need and while doing that, increasing the name of Jesus in America.

 I love Andy's view and heart. He should be an inspiration to us all.
