Fairfax 长老派教会 忠实地服务与CSM 几年来。这是喜悦肩并肩服务与他们。我们称赞上帝为他们的版本和激情为都市部。

不久前, Fairfax 长老派教会系列花费千位美元飞行他们的十几岁到墨西哥八个日做好。他们帮助了编译家庭电话和再磨光教会作为年年继续短期国际使命行程工作和传福音在贫乏的地产超过1 百万个主要基督徒一部分的陆军。

学员使命的中心, 总部设在Dana 点, 加州, 任命了丹穿过作为其第三位总统和CEO 。年前, 当前总统, Noel Becchetti 和他的妻子, Kyle, 运算的副总统在CSM, 宣布, 他们感觉上帝的提示把CSM 留在在2008 年9月追求上帝的下种购买权对一个新建部。为了保证一个光滑和有效转移, 董事会开始立即以聘用最近结束穿过的搜索进程。他将开始他的新建分配在2008 年9月1 日。
在他的新建角色, 穿过将带领CSM 入使命依然是中央的其第三个十年充满活力, 都市部:

我认为整天是否我们的社团成为了由不公道完全地轻率。它是某事我认为我们也许习惯了。是在CSM 这个夏天对那种可能性真正地打开了我的头脑。它时常几乎似乎, 我们只看见什么我们想要对在我们暴露于它, 服务在它, 居住在它, 和被教育对此以后。如此我猜测我的问题是怎么我们不是变得免疫对这样一个巨型的系统问题? 我们怎么暴露十几岁于某事不使他们感受有罪和不陷在罪状?

      因为我坐在小山俯视多伦多城市在我们的最终期间质问, 我被怎样温暖了显然上帝的存在在在星期。我假设, 我们所有生存第一星期当夏天主机没有任一个专业悲剧的情况是证词足够对爱恋的God. ・培训是强烈的Our 的力量并且在组到达了之前, 我们日被装载了以兴奋和不稳定性在什么将来。

它滑稽怎么事可能很简单, 但如果您不查找足够严密... 您错过他们。一这样的实例来以联邦快递公司徽标。这不久前被指出了对我, 并且我从未能从那以后看徽标同样方式! 事先警告, 这可以修改这徽标观察为您也是。下次您看见一, 检查白色空间在E 并且x. 之间您将注意指向在右边的箭头! 如果您是象我和从未知道那存在了, 您安排您的透视图被更改。这样上星期三是实际情形为我在我们质问的课时期间。

So we hear a lot about Hollywood on TV. As a kid I always thought that was the happening, cool place. I went there today to some of our ministry sites that we have there, and I quickly learned the reality of my TV Hollywood. Yeah there are the hundreds of stars for the famous, and the shops, and Capital Records. BUT there are also a lot of poor people in Hollywood. Hollywood is not just the sign we see on the hill, it is a community of living, breathing people.

I am reading a book that a former staff member blessed me with called: Here and Now by Henri Nouwen. An excerpt out of the book is called "From Competition to Compassion".

"Compassion - which means, literally, 'to suffer with' - is the way to the truth that we are ourselves, not when we differ from others, but when we are the same."
....
"It is not "excelling" but "serving" that makes us most human. It is not proving ourselves to be better than others but confessing to be just like others that is the way to healing and reconciliation."

The past 4 weeks at CSM Houston, hundreds of people of all ages have passed through the doors (although most were high energy junior high). Every week, a few groups get a chance to serve at the Harbor Light Salvation Army. It is a men’s shelter for those that are recovering from drug and alcohol addictions as well as a daily meal service and shelter for those on the streets. One man that is always there when CSM volunteers arrive is named David. David's story consists of attempting to go through the program at Harbor Light 6 different times.
