15 years of IJM

I was a youth pastor looking for some curriculum that might spark a bunch of entitled, spoiled, and apathetic teenagers to get serious about their faith. Youth Specialties were really the only people doing quality stuff, and I ordered The Justice Mission curriculum. The VHS tapes arrived and I went through the curriculum only to be confronted with my own entitlement and apathy. It began a relationship that now is more than 10 years old with an agency I remain proud to support financially. This month they celebrate 15 years of bringing justice to the poor, the widow and the orphan, and call the Church to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

Cover the Night TONIGHT

We’ll be doing this…

And this…

And this…

And more, plus we’ll give away some T-shirts and bracelets and bumper stickers and pins.

It began a week ago in Uganda and the Congo…

And we will bring it to Georgetown tonight, 8:30pm, Harmony Christian Church.

Words Remain – Josh Garrels

This musical experience is simply beautiful. Often in our digitally cleaned and autotuned age we lose the texture that brings a feel to music. While I love the occasional overdone base it is music like this that takes me to the intimate alone places of my mind. When life sucks we tend toward the things that numb, but we are never intended to remain there. Eventually, as a deer enters a meadow on a cool morning, we must carefully and fully engage with life once again. This song, and the way it is produced here, is the music for engagement.
