City Highlight: Houston |
Changes
are happening here in Houston-heart changes, life changes, and ministry
changes...
Over
Spring Break, two college students in particular experienced Jesus with
a new, deep, authenticity through serving others with CSM. One
girl, Tina, played basketball on the street with kids at one of our
ministry sites-a community center at a Section 8 apartment complex.
The last night of their trip, she came to me and said, "I used to
say I won't believe unless God writes it across the sky: 'I
am real.' Yesterday I saw it all over those kids' faces at
Ujima, I saw it all over the homeless man's face at the Waystation. God said to me, 'Tina, I am real!'"
