THE TIME IS NOW! CALLING ALL SAINTS!

Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Mon, 04/21/2008 - 16:24

I was speaking with a gentleman at one of the shelters in Newark, NJ that I ministered at a couple of days ago and he shared with me that he had just gotten out of the hospital from attempting to kill himself for the 8th time.  I submitted to him that he had so many reasons to live. He responded with ‘I have even more reasons not to live.’ Another young lady that I recently spoke with approached me with tears in her eyes as she described how she feels that there is no hope for her. She has been struggling with drug addiction for years and although she is tired of living with this disease, she recognizes the grip that it has on her and she is in despair and afraid for her life. While ministering in the prisons

Jeremy Del Rio: Beyond Passion - Living a Crucified Life

Two years ago, the evangelical world eagerly awaited the release of what was being lauded as "the greatest evangelistic tool of our time." The anticipation built as a brilliant marketing campaign invited pastors and church leaders to pre-screen Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ movie, and its trailer spread virally online. The supposed anti-Semitism controversy notwithstanding, evangelicals and Catholics worldwide pre-purchased tickets for opening night.

Strategies for Taking Back Our Cities

Submitted by an UrbanMinistry Blogger on Wed, 05/27/2009 - 17:25

Economic crisis has provided a wonderful opportunity for the church to arise and shine as never before. The State of California is considered bankrupt and continues to impoverish local government as one hand robs the other in order to stay afloat. The voice of the enemy has raged against any godly influence in society. The voice of the enemy has demanded that God be removed from our schools, government and even our homes as many have demanded, "Silence the voice of the Christians!" and "Separation of church and state!" Amidst the cry from those demanding the right to live under the enemy's curse, God is now turning that around, and He is separating the church from the state she's been in. He is turning His churches inside out and forcing them into the streets.

Jeremy Del Rio: Why I Support the Billy Graham Crusade (and Pray You Do Too): Tri-State Voice, March 2005

Let's get real for a second.

Billy Graham is coming to New York in June for his final crusade in the city, and quite possibly the last crusade of his distinguished career. So what? Why should you care, beyond perhaps the historical curiosity of the 86-year old, so-called "Protestant Pope" retiring?

Jeremy Del Rio: Things We Don't Talk About: Tri-State Voice, February 2005

"Mama, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet." - Eminem, in Cleanin' out My Closet

He trusted her. That's what little brothers do, so when his eight year old sister and her friend called him into a field, four year old Aidan (named changed) went. There he entered a world without boundaries. Beginning that afternoon, for the next six or seven years his sister and her friends touched him, made him touch them, violated him.

Jeremy Del Rio: Collective Action - Cooperative Outreach Among Christian Groups at NYU: Student Leadership Journal, Spring 2001

Have you ever felt like your best evangelism efforts resulted in wasted time and energy? I have. During my undergraduate days at New York University (Class of ’95), I served on InterVarsity’s executive leadership team for three and a half years in the capacities of outreach coordinator, small-group leader, vice-president and president. Early in that period, we experienced those feelings time and again, and we weren’t alone.
