Last week I was in New York. It's been more than ten years since the last time I've been in this city. We used to go through New York in the 90s because Wanda's brother David used to live there and also because of Joan, her friend from Bible School. Manhattan seemed so crazy every other time we've been there. I remember shopping for our first camcorder on 5th Avenue at one of the electronics shops. Oh, what a crazy time that was!
Well, this time it was altogether different. For starters they have really upgraded JFK airport. Really nice actually.
I was in New York at the invitation of bishop Joseph Mattera of Resurrection Church. He's also the presiding apostle of Christ Covenant Coalition. The Lord has been bringing us into a closer relationship since last year and it was such a blessing to be in New York with him, the leaders of CCC and also with the Mattera family. They are such an inspiration and a blessing to be around!
On Sunday I had the honor of ministering at Resurrection Church. This is a great church! They have really made a huge difference in Brooklyn. I was telling one of the leaders there that they really should be in one of those Transformation videos that George Barna put out in the late 90s and later on. Resurrection Church has definitely brought transformation to Brooklyn. It was so awesome to be around such precious people who are in a daily battle for the souls and the well being of people in Brooklyn.
I also had a chance to visit downtown Manhattan and the Memorial Site of the former World Trade Center towers.
Special thank you to Robert and Lucy Sepe who took the time to go with me to downtown. I really enjoyed it and will remember this visit forever! Thank you guys!
Check out some of the photos I took.
