I spent the early part of this morning with Kevin B. from Intervarsity. 15 interns from USC will be coming to Long Beach in July for an urban summer project for six weeks. Kingdom Causes is helping to coordinate work sites for the interns. Kevin and I first met with Pastor Rob Langworthy and his wife Adele from Covenant Presbyterian Church. They are an incredible couple and ministry team. They have such hearts for these inner city youth. The time and energy required to regularly reach out to these kids is enormous! We're going to have the interns help out with their Vacation Bible School and Afterschool programs. Afterwards, Kevin and I met with Pastor Leon Wood from North Long Beach Community Prayer Center. There's definitely a need for help and support in North Long Beach. Another team of interns will help out with their VBS also along with some work days around the church. I'll continue working with Kevin and other churches to have the interns from USC be a blessing to the communities but also be blessed by what they experience here in Long Beach.
I went to City Hall to pray with other intercessors for the National Day of Prayer. Jana coordinated the event. The weather was a bit wet but overall it was a good time to pray for the nation and for Long Beach. I saw many of the City Watch intercessors there too.
