<ul>
<li><strong>A numbed sense of powerlessness and detachment</strong></li>
<li>or</li>
<li><strong>A harried sense of temporary responsive activism</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>We are praying instead that God leads us and leads you to a God Given, Holy Spirit Driven, Sustainable and Responsible Response that reflects the way of Jesus.</p>
<p>We are asking that you</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pray Now</span></strong> (For those suffering, for those serving, for families, new orphans, new widows)</li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Give Some</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>(Click the button to the right to give to Compassion International.  Whatever amount you have in your head, add 25%)</li>
<li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Go Soon</span></strong> (Tweets and Posts like this are good, but you and I are going to need to go soon and for a long time to come)</li>
</ul>
<p>We are praying for Haiti.  We are praying for those of us that are connected to Soul City Church, that we would live a Gospel that has always been for the poor, the outcast, the forgotten.

<p>At <a href="http://soulcitychurch.com" target="_blank">Soul City Church</a>, we believe that <em><strong>7</strong></em> days of the week have much greater potential than just <strong><em>1</em></strong>.  Far too many people limit their idea of church to a <em>service</em> they attend or a <em>building</em> that they visit 1 day a week.  <strong><em>1 day is good, but 7 is better</em></strong>.  We long for the church to have a unique incarnational impact in our neighborhood <em>7 days a week</em>.  Our hope is that the city rejoices over our presence and partnership in bringing renewal and restoration wherever we go.  That&#8217;s how you transform <em>Neighborhoods</em>.  That&#8217;s how you transform <em>Cities</em>.  That&#8217;s how you change the <em>World</em> -<strong><em> 7 days a week</em></strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em>The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed</em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em>Proverbs 11:10</em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em><br />
</em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em>Learn to do good.  Seek justice.  Help the oppressed.  Defend the cause of orphans.  Fight for the rights of widows.</em></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><em>Isaiah 1:17</em></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Discussion :: Who is doing this well?  Who is getting beyond a once a week visit to a building and truly being a part of God&#8217;s Transformational work in their neighborhood?</strong></p>
