I'm just J-T. I'm a lead elder, a husband, a dad, a grandpa, a Celtics fan, a Linux user (since 1997), a vim / LaTeX guy, a hot sauce maker, a Michigan Wolverines fan…you know, just J-T. I serve New City Church in Grand Rapids.

Some will wrap a gift and hide it in a closet, never to be actually given.

Alan Kreider's book "The Patient Ferment" is really helpful thinking through this. In short, the early church didn't have a strategy for outreach; they simply loved one another and loved their neighbors. Without love there is no mission!

Thanks!
