Back in Town...

Yes, the rumors are true. The infamous R.G. Lyons, alumnus of Samford University & Duke Divinity School is back in the Magic City (that's Birmingham for all you non-natives). This week I have been on a Jr. High Mission Trip to West Birmingham with the Joe Rush Center for Urban Ministries (a Methodist organization.) I discovered through the site coordinator that R.G. was actually working at Urban and was in the early stages of a new Methodist Urban startup church. R.G. came and had dinner with us, and spoke to the kids about homelessness. It is awesome to see these kids getting excited, passionate, and caring about the least of these. One of the kids in the group pointed out that Jesus might have been homeless.

Welcome back to Birmingham R.G.
