Read all about it here. A church that grew out of a little apartment in a small university town in Southern California is spreading like wild fire throughout the so-called “Southland.” They have a site in LA and one in North OC, and even have church plants in the Bay Area and the NYC area. They recently made some kinda headline in Relevant magazine. Now they have also gone over to Bangkok. Watch out world!

The entire set of features, stories and galleries can be found here, culminated by the question, “After all the talk, will there be action?“
Of course the columnist is asking that of the local government and the authorities. While they do have a responsibility as elected officials to do something about the situation, perhaps some of us do not need to sit aside and ask the question, waiting for them to provide an answer. Perhaps some of us can do someting about providing the answer.
Perhaps we do not need for a disaster to hit before we get show the world what the church really means. Churches like this one are making positive steps in transforming the city (while they are not working directly in Skid Row (or maybe they are), they are working in places like Crenshaw High School, where they are teaching and resourcing kids to make a living legally, mentoring and showing that there are choices than joining a gang, selling drugs or doing other illegal activities).
