May Day

My new job is keeping me busy here in The Bronx. It has been a week of growing painfully to be a more patient, merciful, and justice-giving person. My week also provided me more opportunities to experience and pray for nearby Bronx neighborhoods and receive my first EVER promotion!

On a different note, by the end of this month, there will only be three of the original TGC Bronxites left in the borough all of which have either been unresponsive towards or stated they didn’t want to be a part of a TGC Bronx Community. Thus, community here --- unless God should bring others --- is not going to be built in 2010. I myself am unlikely to be living in The Bronx after this year. It makes me sad somewhat because I prayed for so long to get here and truly wanted to see community built, but if God would allow, I will be living in Midtown East serving at the UN for World Vision next January through Mennonite Volunteer Service. This may not happen, but I have great peace to pursue this path for my life. I am also going to keep praying for and/or prayer walking in The Bronx.
