Youth Network Meeting

Today was the fourth meeting of our youth leader network. It is incredible to meet together with a variety of people from a variety of churches. At our meeting today there were representatives from a Korean church, a white church (one traditional, one contemporary) an African American Church, and Matt and myself were there from Bridgeway. It has been an encouragement for me to hear from other perspectives and other churches. There seems to be a strong desire among the group to cross all kinds of barriers to carry out ministry. I believe God is desiring to do amazing things in and through this group of youth leaders.

Another Sunday of Multicultural Ministry

It was another great day of worship at Bridgeway. God really showed up! I always enjoy watching the wide variety of people who call Bridgeway home worshiping together. This morning I was particularly moved when Nikki (our worship leader) called the band to leave their instruments and come out on the stage and lift their voices in worship to God. It was an amazing visual to see the whole choir and band out on stage worshiping together with the entire congregation at Bridgeway. So many people of different ages, genders, and races, worshiping the same God. Wow, what a blessings.

Questoins about multicultural ministry

There have been a variety of situations I have found myself in over the past several years where I had questions about multicultural ministry. If you find yourself with questions, I would love to hear them. I cannot promise I can answer them all, but I can post my thoughts and ask some of my friends that are much wiser than I am. I will also share my questions with you so that you can see what I am thinking about and also so I can receive your help.
