I spent the entire day and evening with other pastors and leaders who want to share the love of Christ with our city. Larry Dewitt from Mission America shared with us how to create a culture that reaches out to the lost. To create this new DNA requires pastors and leaders who are broken, and who model the process of praying, caring and sharing. Larry's humility and love for the Lord are refreshing.
This afternoon around 30 pastors met on the 16th floor of the Crown Plaza Hotel for a Prayer Summit. We prayed that God would break us and give us his heart for our city. We shared our hearts with one another, we prayed, and at times, we wept. We concluded our prayer time by going over to the windows that overlook Cedar Rapids and prayed for our city.
Lord Jesus, give me your heart for Cedar Rapids. Help me to see people as you see them. Might my heart grieve over what you grieve over; weep over what you weep over. Help me to see Cedar Rapids through your eyes.
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace - but now it is hidden from your eyes." Luke 19:41-42
