Every day I get to spend a little time at Jericho Partnership is a good day. What is Jericho? The best way for me to describe it is to just send you there: www.jerichopartnership.org
One of the things I love about Danbury is the way that the churches and ministries work together. Maybe because in this part of the country, there are so few (comparatively) churches and Christians? Other places I have been, there have been enough Baptists, Presbyterians, and Assemblies of God - whatever - that we all just pretty much stayed to ourselves. And there were always one or two "big dog" churches that didn't think they needed the smaller churches or that the smaller churches needed them.
No, it's not perfect up here in Danbury - but this is a place where there is a high degree of working together across denominational lines. And I love it. We can be a Reformed church that is not despised and doesn't have to isolate. We have a seat at the table; more importantly, there is a place for us to kneel alongside our fellow believers and pray for a city.
More about Jericho in later posts, I'm sure. Me? I'm just looking forward to prayer time with the staff and a little bit of conversation with Carrie Amos, the very capable director.
