Cities and Orphans

It is celebration time at EverGreen, the church where I am honored to be on staff. This is the time of the year when we look back at what God has done and look forward to what God is calling us to do in the coming ministry year. In a couple of weeks we will have our budget listening meeting where people have the opportunity to ask questions about our coming ministry budget.

This year one of the things that we are excited about is a new focus for the money that we use to support gospel movements that renew lives, cities, and cultures. When the budget details are published in about a week you will find some new gospel movements/organizations that we are supporting. There is a particular focus on orphans through the work of Steve and Cara VanderWerf, the work of another couple in the orphanages of Romania, and our on-going work in Colima Mexico. Along with this comes an emphasis on cities--especially large cities. We are placing an emphasis on such urban centers because they are the center of culture change and have a huge influence on the entire world. One of the ways we are diving into the city is through a grant we are giving to Redeemer Presbyterian's City to City initiative. Enjoy watching a bit about that work
