A Broken City

We have arrived!

Today after some extensive travel, we arrived in Corpus Christi, TX! Our team came in from all over the United States and we are geared up and ready for what God is going to do this week. Satan has already started his attack but we are going to keep pushing through because we have a mission. A mission to share this great love! A love that is so pure and so strong that it can mend broken hearts and heal broken spirits.

I met a man in the airport today named Marty. He is from Corpus Christi and he was telling me all about this broken city. He said that only 10% of the population here is churched. The pregnancy rate and high school drop out rate is extremely high. Middle school girls are having not one, but two babies between the ages of 13-16.

God has brought us to this city for a purpose and I am so excited about watching Him move. Please pray for us as we go into battle against a city that desperately needs the love of Jesus Christ!

John in KC said...: The evil one must certainly be smug about such influence in a city named "Body of Christ." I'm praying Psalm 143 for you.; 4:52 AM

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
