Common Ground

January 11th was a VERY good night.  If you weren’t there - you should have been.   After another great meal together, we got to enjoy the music of the “aLIVe” praise band.  Not only do they sing and play a beautiful selection of songs, but they lead us in worship.  There is no better place to be, as the song says.  Then we got to hear the testimony of Luis Perez who works with youth and their families at the Juvenile Justice Center.  Luis openly and boldly shared his life of drugs and gang activity before coming to the Lord on January 11th, 2005, exactly 4 years ago.  (Isn’t God’s timing wonderful?)  He inspired us to walk strong in our faith and to see that the Lord has a plan for us.  Remember to pray for Luis as he tries to help kids who are in trouble and as he has opportunity to share his faith.
