Whats it going to take to see people being loved?
Whats it going to take to see people finding homes?
Artists finding the Creator?
Junkies finding the Physician?
Whats it going to take to see orphans finding the Father?
Whats it going to take to see neighbors become friends?
Friends becoming family?

Whats it going to take to see,
Blighted brick and glass transformed into mended homes?

Whats it going to take to see,
strangers finding belonging.

These are some of the questions that I ask myself? Of course the answer to these questions must include Jesus, but after that answer more questions arise. How?

What will it take to see not one or two but dozens of Church communities created in the context of Pittsburgh. Communities that have deep roots in their communities.
I want to have a heart like John Knox, “Give me Pittsburgh or I die”. I want to weep over the city like Christ, wept over Jerusalem. I want to care for the city like the father cared for Nineveh.
