here's life inner city...

took megan to the train super early today.
well, for me anyway....plus we were up until
about 1 or so, that made for an early
morning! we will all miss her. even the cats!

i came home from st. paul this morning and
grabbed another hour of sleep before i
drove down to the mpls hilton for an outreach
event for here's life inner city and
john sather.

i've done some work for them in the past
and love to come along side that organization
and assist in archiving events for them.
this weekend marks about the 25th annual event
for a ton of college students that all come
together to share their faith with others.
today they set out on foot with boxes of
pantry staples to folks in need and perhaps lead
some of them to Christ by sharing the gospel.
i had NO idea that there would be so many
students..when i arrived to the 3rd floor
ballroom the music was intoxicating!
a live band on a HUGE stage playing contemporary
Christian music...i loved it. i quickly got
to work and photographed the worshiping of
Jesus then we moved on to churches throughout
the area (i was assigned to the marie sandvik
center on chicago & 11th).

there i met up with about 50 students that
were prepared to head out into the streets
of the phillips neighborhood, talk about
Christ and share the gospel all while on their
holiday break from college. pretty moving
considering that their class mates were off
skiing, working, sleeping etc...

we bundled up and set forth. i was there to
document their efforts and make sure that
the students had some fun too! ;)

came home and totally crashed! i have been
running all week. tonight we will stay in
and rest up for tomorrow's big new year's
eve bash at the airport hilton.

tickets still available...come on out!!!
