Love this version of God of this City by Exodus and Lifechurch.
Love the diversity!
Reminds me of the challenge Scott Williams (pastor of NW OKC Campus of Lifechurch.tv) gave during #thenines :: Church Diversity Sucks…
A friend of our podcast, Andrew Jones, has put out a call for help and I hope you’ll take a couple minutes to read and respond.
Just a little bit of background in case you haven’t listened to his chat on our podcast yet…
The Jones family is traveling the world in their truck, exploring the world that God loves and seeking to bring real transformation and change. They have just visited 12 countries, hosting leadership training events, encouraging social enterprises, and supporting missional entrepreneurs in a sustainable and effective way.
Its been an incredible time but the financial crunch has caused a number of funders to drop out and now the funds are depleted, just as they head south and east towards the next 25 countries.
The Joneses need to raise $30,000 by the end of the year but the urgent need is $5000 for visas, diesel, ferry and plane tickets that are needed immediately. Can you help them by supporting them financially or by spreading the word?

My friend Briana sent this to me this evening relating to my message yesterday.
Had to share it here. Not exactly sure of the origin or author. If you know, please feel free to share so I can give credit.
I was hungry and you formed a humanities club to discuss my hunger.
Thank you.
I was imprisoned and you crept off quietly to your chapel to pray for my release.
Nice.
I was naked and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.
What good did that do?
I was sick and you knelt and thanked God for your health.
But I needed you.
I was homeless and you preached to me of the shelter of the love of God.
I wish you’d have taken me home.
I was lonely and you left me alone to pray for me.
Why didn’t you stay?
You seem so holy, so close to God; but I’m still very hungry, lonely, cold, still in pain.
Does it matter?
