New Shalom (feat. Pro)

This week marked a whole year since the first Legacy Conference we attended.  It's been around for a handful of years, and is held at my alma matter in downtown Chicago.

This is what's up:
The Legacy exists to equip those that are serious about being disciples of Christ to make disciples for Christ. This is accomplished through biblical training (Legacy Conference and Legacy University) and networking opportunities of like minded urban leaders.

 It is essentially an urban-minded conference with workshops taught by hip-hop artists, featuring concerts at night by these same artists.  Also leading the workshops, sessions, and discussion panels are college professors, pastors, church planters, and poets.

For us,  theLegacy was one of the first action steps in pursuing urban ministry as a couple.  It was a good reminder that we are called to inner-city work, and that we wouldn't have to change who we are to do it...

Here's a video I put together shortly afterward, to share our experience:
