As we tell our story to people and share the places where we have been there is often a sense of “I don’t know what to do with that.”
It all started last year when one of my students was clearly upset and could not focus on his schoolwork. I invited him back to talk with me and within minutes he was sitting in an old yellow chair behind my desk sobbing.
Recently I attended church on Skid Row in Los Angeles. I have been to this area many times over the years, but never for a Sunday service.
Roberto* entered my classroom with a reputation that preceded him. Others told me what a “handful” this child is and some of his bad habits and stories from his previous school.
If you have ever seen my photography, you would learn very quickly that I love trees. I can’t explain why I love them so much, but they are to me one of the crowning features of God’s creation.
The Young Entrepreneur’s Program is designed to train and equip young leaders in the city of Los Angeles.
In prisons across America, God is using The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) to transform lives and grow His Church.
One of the most satisfying duties in my role with TUMI is to observe ministers-in-training serving in local churches.
All over the United States, World Impact is partnering with church planters by providing resources and the encouragement they need.
World Impact is committed to empowering urban leaders. When leaders are empowered, they in turn empower those around them and the Church in the city flourishes and grows.
After several tragic events of racial conflict in our country, once again there is the painful reality of our broken world. For several people, it has been only a few years that racial tension in America has been at an increase.
Recently I attended a barbecue that was extraordinary in more ways than one. It was held in celebration of a recent graduate of The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI), James Jeffery.
