My ministry partner, Stephen Corbett, and I traveled to New Orleans recently to shoot video footage for use in support of a soon-to-be-announced fund raising effort on behalf of the Carrollton Avenue Church of Christ. It may sound trite, but I'm going to say it anyway because it's true... Stephen and I gained so much more than we gave during our time alongside the folks who make up Carrollton Avenue church. Carrollton Avenue is clearly committed to living and being the people of God to the city of New Orleans.
Carrollton Avenue also needs money... $300,000 to be somewhat exact... in order to complete much needed, and too long delayed, post-Katrina repairs to their building. It will take you just over 4 minutes to watch this clip which portrays both the need, and the heart of the Carrollton Avenue church.
I'll be posting additional information about the fund raising campaign, Carrollton Aid, in the near future. But for now I'd ask that you pray for this effort... and consider posting the Carrollton Aid clip on your blog.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

God is looking for those with whom he can do the impossible- What a pity that we plan things we can only do by ourselves.

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.

The great illusion of leadership is is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.

Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.
