Urban Onramps

This Tuesday in Fresno

Whenever I get invited out of town for a speaking engagement, I tell the folks that I’m willing to speak early and often. “Put me to work,” I say. If I’m not at home with my family and attending to my first ring of work/ministry priorities, I would prefer to use all of the “away” time on mission. The people in Fresno took my request seriously. Check out my schedule for this Tuesday:

• 6:30 a.m. - Fresno/Clovis Prayer Breakfast: “Security in an Unsecure World”
• 9:30 a.m. - Pastors’ Discussion @ Mennonite Biblical Seminary Chapel: “Transforming Your City Through Protest and Invest”
• 11:45 a.m. - No Name Fellowship @ Fresno Pacific University: “Can You See Me When I’m Thirty?”
• 2:00 p.m. - Hispanic Pastors’ Discussion: “From East LA to the White House and back to the barrio”

By 3 we will be officially done. By 4 we should be back on the road. By 8 I should be back in Pasadena after driving down the 99 and then the 5. I’m looking forward to this day. There are a lot of great people in Fresno who are attempting great things, and it’s always a pleasure to spend some time with them.

Here’s a May 17 article in The Fresno Bee about the prayer breakfast and what I plan to share there: Religion: Prayer breakfast speaker will talk on security. I would appreciate your prayers for this entire day. If you choose to pray, and if you drop me a line to let me know you are praying, I’ll hit you back at the end of the day and report on how God’s Spirit was at work.
