Viva Las Vegas

This past weekend, I took a trip with my family to Las Vegas. One of the GREATEST cities in world...I had an amazing time.

And while I was in the city, my eyes were opened to something...this is one of the best places in the world right now to be do ministry. And something I didn't see while I was there...were churches.

I know that XXXChurch (www.xxxchurch.com) has a facility in Vegas, and does a lot of work there, but that is really the only ministry I know of that is based out of Las Vegas.

Now, there is MUCH more to Vegas than the strip...trust me. It is one huge city.

But it seems to me that there is almost a "Do Not Enter" zone around the strip for followers of Christ...why is that?

This is something I have been thinking a lot about...what if we stepped outside of our comfort zone and made an impact in what many people believe is a destructive and desolate place?

We would have the opportunity to impact thousands upon thousands of lives every single day...and yet we aren't.

So, my new challenge...affect the city of Las Vegas with the love of Christ. It may take a few years...but I can't wait to see what happens!
