To the Lord your God belongs the heavens, even the highest heavens the earth and everything in it. Yet the Lord set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants above all the nations

Too many amazing things to share about my week in Detroit. Perhaps that is why I have delayed writing this update. How could I begin to articulate the amount of joy, freedom and hope that was given? That typically is how it goes when we experience something supernatural. It’s other-worldly, and hard to express. But here are a few things that I walked away with from my week in Detroit.
A greater love for Muslims to come to know Jesus, and more faith and hope that Jesus has been, is and will continue to break into Muslims lives and hearts through dreams and revelations of himself.
Learning once again that the simple gospel really is good news and easy to share. Whether it is with students at Wayne State University or people camped out at Occupy Detroit.
Reminded that in the place of prayer and worship, Jesus gives us his heart for cities, people groups and nations. It also brings breakthrough.
Lastly, the main thing that happened in my heart was an increased desire to be a friend of Jesus. At Jesus’ most desperate time in the garden, he didn’t even have a friend that would stay up with him. If Jesus cares about a city, that is enough reason for me to go and pray for it. If I never go to Detroit again, if I never see any of the fruit from my time and prayers there, that is okay. Jesus cares about Detroit, and since I’m his friend, I too want to care about it.
What a privilege to be a friend of the Creator. I don’t want to miss the honor.
