Remembering LAUP

This last Saturday I drove down to LA for a LAUP (Los Angeles Urban Project) alumni day. It was a combination of worship, teaching, praying, testimonies, Q&A, and just free time to spend with people. It was very refreshing to spend time talking with so many like minded people. The day was very helpful in rekindling some my passion from that summer.

A year ago I talked to the college pastor at my Church about trying to send a group from our Church down to LAUP. His answer at the time was no for 2006 (because something else was already being planned), but maybe in 2007. I'm going to try to talk to him again soon about planning to send a team next summer. I really hope that we can make it happen. I will certainly plan to write more as I investigate this further.

Exciting Day

Today was the first full day of my business trip. We were busy just about all day, but it was exciting to see our project coming together. We get one more day to work on things tomorrow, and then we're headed back to Santa Barbara.
