Philadelphia

I'm in Philly! Blogging from the roof of a five story home in Philadelphia.

A group of 10 of us left this morning for a week to work with Highway Tabernacle A/G in downtown Philly. There is such excitement among our group as we are working with about 130 kids from the neighborhood. My students will be trained in how to lead and organize different projects as well as take part in a few work projects.

Highway Tabernacle is such an incredible landmark. It was built in 1850 and is the 2nd oldest A/G church. Think about that...in was the 2nd A/G church started in America. It is so humbling to be walking around the church and just spending time with God.

I can only imagine the incredible services that have happened in this church over the past 150 years. I hope to have have a few this week!
