HOUSTON ARTS TEAM

August 31,2012- July 2013 I will be serving with a program called Mission year. Mission year is an urban ministry program focused on Christian service and discipleship. I will be living and working with a team of people in Houston, TX to serve and create community through the avenue of the arts. The majority of my time I will be serving at St. John's Church in downtown Houston. The program is committed to the command of Jesus to “love God and love people,” by placing the needs of our neighbors first and developing committed disciples of Christ with a heart for the poor. The day by day schedule includes intentional community, professional service, discipleship, neighborhood outreach, church partnership, and education/training. (for more info check out the links on the sidebar)

Pray: for a heart to love God and love people.

Reflections of my road trip (final week!)


This past week I stopped to visit one of my friends and former strength coaches in Atlanta.  I was able to see her gym and get a good workout in.  We ate dinner, watched a movie, and met some other Mission Year staff members from the headquearters in Atlanta.  The movie we watched was "Mr. Hollands Opus."  (watch it below!). I found it very inspiring and reflected on the movie quote,
"We are the music of your life."
As I am on my journey to another part of the country I am reminded of those who I have said "cya later" to without knowing the next time I am going to see them. 
Who is the music of my life? Who have I impacted? What example am I leaving people with?

 The next day I headed to Tuscaloosa Alabama to see one of my AIA staff friends who I met at the Impact conference this past winter.  We attended her church Bible study, went to breakfast at a local place, and drove around town.  I am so thankful to be able to reconnect with the Athletes in Action family! Tonight I am visiting Baton Rouge, Louisiana to see another AIA staff friend who I met this past summer at Colorado Project.  My journey on the road is coming to an end and I will be arriving in Houston tomorrow!
