This is the theme of the Christian Community Development Association's annual conference this year. As I write, Richard and I are settling into our Cincinnati hotel room. One child asleep and one still tossing and turning, victim of the three-hour time difference. The third is back in Los Angeles with Juan and Stacie, his substitute parents for the week. If our goodnight phone conversation is any indicator, he's having a great time so far.
Tomorrow we'll attend a pre-conference institute, then meet up with eight other Church of the Redeemer members who arrive tomorrow. We are so excited to spend a week learning and being challenged together! Please pray that God will use this conference to strengthen and guide the work he is doing in our neighborhood.
Pray also that God will specifically bless each of us who are here: Elliot, Lauren, Jen Chi, Sarah, Sierra, John, Amy, Scott, Anna, Richard, Isaiah and Abigail. Each of us serves in a unique capacity within our neighborhood, bringing unique questions and challenges with us into this time. Please pray that God will direct us to workshops, relationships, resources and conversations that will help us grow in all the ways we need.
