NYC to Chicago!

Hi everyone!
I can't believe it has been this long since we have been able to post, but it has been a busy last week with little or no internet.
I'll try to fill you in on the last week or so as best as I can!

On Sunday we visited Times Square Church where David Wilkerson preaches (author of The Cross and the Switchblade). It was a great message on how tribulation produces patience... and a timely one I thought. Good stuff!


In the last post, Casey showed a little video of a missionary's apartment in Brooklyn. He was a good friend of a man we met while doing outreach in Atlantic City. We visited his house church and learned about his ministry there in Brooklyn. Seems like there is definitely some work the Lord is doing in New York City!

The Lord truly provided and blessed us through this missionary! As it turned out, his ministry had an empty apartment in Manhattan we could use for the week! There was a couch, a bed, and an air mattress... and that was all we needed!! So we were able to stay in the apartment for a few days so we could have a home base until we could pray through what to do next. All he needed us to do was help move the furniture over to his place after we were done.

Most of the time this week there was TORRENTIAL rain and thunderstorms, so it made it difficult to go out and find ministry. But we were able to make it back out to Union Station one more time where those missionaries from Texas were doing street witnessing. Me & Case spent most of the time talking with a very interesting young man who lived in the city. New Yorkers are a very interesting bunch. They are very matter of fact, very in your face, and every one of them I've talked to have very hardened viewpoints on things. There is a strange spirit in this city that I can't quite put my finger on... maybe after I've processed it a bit more, I will write more on this. We were grateful to have experienced it nonetheless.

Me and Casey were able to get some alone time this morning and took a stroll though Central Park. What a wonderful quiet little refuge in this crazy city... and it didn't even start raining today until we got back to the apartment (thanks God!:)




Last night we learned about a 3-day Disciple Making Conference put on by a ministry called Legacy in Chicago this week. So we are heading out tonight right after we get this furniture moved over to the missionary's place. Paul Washer is one of the speakers and there will be all sorts of workshops about disciple-making, so we are stoked!
