We checked in. Ate dinner, then went to worship where there was a large lighted city with lighted windows of paper. Our question was- why are you here this week? Lots of different answers, put on paper and place in the glowing windows. Why are you where you are this week? What is God calling you to do and be?
We visited many sites we will be in mission in this week and prayed for the neighborhood. Then we went to the top of the city and our interns told stories of this city. I kept thinking of the way our country looks from space. When night moves across, all you can see is the cities lit up like stars on the ground. Each one, people gathered, for good or bad. The best and worst that we can be. Yet the refuge for so many struggling to make a good life. If the lights go out, where will they go. How can we save the city and those who cling to the bottom most rung? We will see what they are doing here. Is it hope?
