Fairfax 長老派教會 忠實地服務與CSM 幾年來。這是喜悅肩並肩服務與他們。我們稱讚上帝為他們的版本和激情為都市部。

----

不久前, Fairfax 長老派教會系列花費千位美元飛行他們的十幾歲到墨西哥八個日做好。他們幫助了編譯家庭電話和再磨光教會作為年年繼續短期國際使命行程工作和傳福音在貧乏的地產超過1 百萬個主要基督徒一部分的陸軍。

學員使命的中心, 總部設在Dana 點, 加州, 任命了丹穿過作為其第三位總統和CEO 。年前, 當前總統, Noel Becchetti 和他的妻子, Kyle, 運算的副總統在CSM, 宣佈, 他們感覺上帝的提示把CSM 留在在2008 年9月追求上帝的下種購買權對一個新建部。為了保證一個光滑和有效轉移, 董事會開始立即以聘用最近結束穿過的搜索進程。他將開始他的新建分配在2008 年9月1 日。
在他的新建角色, 穿過將帶領CSM 入使命依然是中央的其第三個十年充滿活力, 都市部:

我認為整天是否我們的社團成為了由不公道完全地輕率。它是某事我認為我們也許習慣了。是在CSM 這個夏天對那種可能性真正地打開了我的頭腦。它時常幾乎似乎, 我們只看見什麼我們想要對在我們暴露於它, 服務在它, 居住在它, 和被教育對此以後。如此我猜測我的問題是怎麼我們不是變得免疫對這樣一個巨型的系統問題? 我們怎麼暴露十幾歲於某事不使他們感受有罪和不陷在罪狀?

      因為我坐在小山俯視多倫多城市在我們的最終期間質問, 我被怎樣溫暖了顯然上帝的存在在在星期。我假設, 我們所有生存第一星期當夏天主機沒有任一個專業悲劇的情況是證詞足夠對愛戀的God. ・培訓是強烈的Our 的力量並且在組到達了之前, 我們日被裝載了以興奮和不穩定性在什麼將來。

它滑稽怎麼事可能很簡單, 但如果您不查找足夠嚴密... 您錯過他們。一這樣的實例來以聯邦快遞公司徽標。這不久前被指出了對我, 並且我從未能從那以後看徽標同樣方式! 事先警告, 這可以修改這徽標觀察為您也是。下次您看見一, 檢查白色空間在E 並且x. 之間您將注意指向在右邊的箭頭! 如果您是像我和從未知道那存在了, 您安排您的透視圖被更改。這樣上星期三是實際情形為我在我們質問的課時期間。

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.
