More encouraging community living passion around me!

This week I got to be inspired by a few people who are passionate about community living and loving service to others. I met with a couple from the Steiger Ministry houses and left feeling a bit overwhelmed, but also inspired. They have 10 or so houses in a small area in south Minneapolis!! They have sooo many cool things going on. Too many to mention in this blog-piece. But let me just say God is doing AMAZING things through that ministry and that I was blessed to meet such a humble and caring couple! They recommended a lot of material to me and also said that at this point (the beginning stages) that prayer is VERY crucial.

The last couple weeks I've been trying to walk around my neighborhood and pray for it and all the people in their homes and their lives. I feel God has laid some specific prayers on my heart for specific homes, so I'm excited to see what He will do. I've even gotten to meet more people up the street from me...

I also met with a girl Erin this week from Woodland Hills youth. She's on staff there and also has a house about a mile south of me. She's very excited about community living. She lives in a 4-plex with one unit still open. They're hoping to use it mostly as a transitional living space for people. I LOVE this whole idea! Please pray for Erin and the others in her house and those in the neighborhood they are reaching out to. God is going to do something amazing there!
