Hello!
After many weeks of anxiety, stress, fear, and… more stress we are FINALLY in London! I guess I will begin with answering one specific question, and that is: Why London? Simply put, Why Not? God said: "Go in to ALL the world," and i have felt a specific calling to London at this point in my life.
For those of you that would like somewhat of a more detailed explanation, I would say this:
London is a global city. It leads and influences the world in the arts, finance, education, entertainment and media. It is a city of stark contrasts with the multitude of cultures, religions, and interests. That being said, London seems to lack one thing: God's Love. In a recent conversation, The team and I heard "The best way to find Church is in a pub, they've just taken God out of it." This was pretty shocking to hear. It seems quite a bit of the church has forgotten how to share love and welcome those around them much less the general people of London. God has appointed the team and I to this place at this specific time to make Christ known in a NEW way. Being a city that is so "cutting edge" it becomes harder and harder to reach the people of London. We feel that researching the culture of this great city and building relationships with the people in it will give us the opportunity to make Christ and his love known to London. When London is impacted, the world is impacted.
We have been called to start at the core.
