The Underground Revolution



The Underground Revolution exists so God can bless the homeless community. We are apart of this revolution because we desire glorify God by loving and serving those in need. We recognize our responsibility to take care of those in need, and know that taking action and being the change we wish to see in the world is the only way to take on this responsibility. We recognize that God wants this ministry to be effective more than we do and that living our lives under this idea frees us from "making things happen," allowing us to live under the freedom found in Jesus Christ.

The Underground Revolution is growing rapidly and yet I find myself feeling uncomfortable. I guess I'm just afraid that we are going to lose sight of God in all of this. I'm afraid that we are going to start acting without being lead by the Holy Spirit. Yet I feel like we are still in tune with Him, so maybe I just worry too much. I am also excited about the growth that is taking place. We have 6 cities looking to become chapters of the ministry and we even have the opportunity to move into the Midwest. A fellow intern and myself are wanting to start feeding and ministering to the homeless here in Muncie, Indiana. We also have the opportunity to start a chapter in Chicago. I am currently talking with the Director of the Cornerstone Festival about getting a booth and being able to present our ministry on stage. So even as I am uncomfortable, I am still moving. There have also been a few other ministries, record labels, and bands that are wanting to help get the word out about what we do, which is really exciting. It always makes me happy when the Church body works together as a cross-denominated unified whole. 

I am in constant prayer for my friends in Dallas that are working their hearts out! They are truly abandoned to the cross of Jesus Christ and it is beautiful to have such wonderful people in my life.
