Campus Crusade for Christ's Chicago Summer Project 2011
DAY 9
My apologies for the delay in posting. Things have been crazy busy. We have been job hunting (as I am sorry to report the job I locked in may be sketchy), having evangelism meetings, having sermon meetings, training, and so on. We did a prayer event where we broke into groups, took the EL all the way to the edge of the city, and made stops to at key locations all the way and prayed for specific things: the local ministries, local struggles, and so on.
Today: Sunday, we went to a local church: Willow Chicago. Willow Chicago is Bill Hybels' satellite church. Their worship band was beautiful. A coming together of African American, Asian, and Caucasian peoples. The band features kids dancing and before the songs, children read scripture. It was amazing. The congregation is made up of people from all walks of life: inner-city, suburbs, and all races. We heard a message from Chuck Coleson and his daughter.
In the evening we had 'Impact group' which is our men's action group meeting with a women's action group (leaders bible study groups) to discuss evangelism planning, tactics, results, and so on. Then all the men on project and all the women on project broke off and had men's and women's times. In our men's time, we discussed what our roles are as men--leading and setting the tone--on this trip. Then we played line soccer. There's a lot of accountability and vulnerability here which is solid.
Praises:
-Solid teaching and ministry
-God's work in Chicago
Prayer Requests:
-That I would be open to what God has to teach me here.
-That God would make clear what He is surfacing from within me and deal with it miraculously
-For opportunities to pour into men here
-That I would continually be renewed
-Prayers against the lies of the evil one and his tactics
-Strong community
