Saturday in the Park!

What a great day we had in Buffalo! 

I got to take my boys Caleb and Canon to a great Father/Son breakfast over on the Eastside at the Gateway-Longview Center near Jefferson and E Ferry. It was a great gathering of dads and kids. I was just blown away again by what is going on in our city that nobody ever hears about. These dads and men are battling it out on the streets of Buffalo – fighting for the young boys in our city… if we don’t get at it in a big way we are going to lose this whole generation of young African/American’s to the enemy. 

In order to have an impact or influence, relationships must be established… no relationship… no influence. So we (the church) are going to have to determine how we are going to be able to be close enough to this generation to have a place in their world to speak into… if we don’t…?

That is why we will continue to create environments and experiences with kids/teens/young adults (of all types) in mind.

For anybody that likes Israel Houghton he just released his newest CD… The Power of One… very good!

I’m out… see you tomorrow!
