St. Louis and the CCDA

I will soon load some pics from St. Louis and share some experiences from there. Here is a pic of a couple of my pink housemates just walking towards the bus stop. Jenny on the left and Megan on the right. They are beautiful girls and have some great experiences and lives to add to the whole of the house. The is also a pic of my roommates and i standing in front of a flippin polar bear. One of the days at the CCDA conference we decided to go to the zoo. which was completely FREE and i couldn't get over it. it wasn't just some rink a dink zoo but it was legit and it was very enjoyable for the whole house. we saw pretty much any animal that we could so desire and more!
The CCDA conference was pretty incredible. I will assume that most people don't know what CCDA stands for or what it is so here it is. It stands for Christian Community Development Association. It is basically a lot of people from all over the country who have committed to urban ministry. It was founded by a man by the name of John Perkins (look him up if you have a chance). He is almost 80 years old and was very much active in the Civil Rights Movement along with MLK Jr. (maybe not actually w/ him but at the same time as him in the South. He has many different theories and practices that make CCDA what it is. For example the three R's: Relocation, Reconcilation, and Redistribution. The Pink House went to a lot of different sessions of speakers. It was a very informative and beneficial time for the House just to get to know each other and get some excitement. We got to have b-fast w/ Shane Claiborne whcih was pretty exciting for me because of his transformation on my life and ministry. We learned about wonderful ministries that people have started which are building community in different and unique ways. Peace and Love
