Albuquerque - Where the sun Lives

So I found out where "the sun lives" (Qtd. Dr. Bill Clem). It occasionally visits Seattle for at most 6 weeks a year, but it has a home, Albuquerque.
About 6 weeks ago, I emailed Pastor AJ over at ABQ and he and others facilitated Julio and Ophelia's hosting of this wayfaring stranger (Johnny Cash you are so awesome). This couple and their kids taught me a bunch about how to organize and architect a home and life to raise kids and serve others.
The video only campus (the 9th of my church) is on old Hwy 66 in the heart of ABQ and is a great example of redemption and urban renewal.

Notice how the balcony doesn't have any stairs descending to the lower section? That's because this theater was originally segregated with "coloreds" like me sitting up away from the main audience. More recently it was a run-down porno house until a church poured love and some cash into it.

The historic theater was an exceptional place to see this special message about Haiti and the bloody aftermath of the devastating quake.

WARNING:Due to blood and gore not appropriate for all audiences.

I was so loved by the people in ABQ, and they went far out of their way to show me grace. Thanks Mike I loved reminiscing about Seattle with you. Roxy and Brandon, I really look forward to showing off Seattle when you come to town. Thank you to all the others who were so kind.
I was there on the Sunday that MHABQ launched the official usher group. I had the privilege of bringing what I have learned over at Ballard (Thanks to Haden, Brandon A., Jake, and Tim for pouring into me) to my friends in ABQ, and I hope that their group will serve with distinction.
