In the evenings, when I've worked through dinner, and I've become so fixated on a project that I've become oblivious to the light that has cut itself back to allow the onset of the night to appear. Perhaps you're like me, and the environmental change comes as a surprise when my head lifts itself off the paper or the out of the laptop to face a void that seems to have sprung out of nowhere. And again, perhaps, it's even a greater fright to have someone walk into the space, and flip that light switch on, flooding the room with an atmospheric change that is at once, and very literally, illuminating, as well as jarring. 

For the past 8 months that has been the Center for Global Action's aim: to illuminate, wake up, jar, and equip to bring light elsewhere. Nowhere was that culmination more evidently seen than in our capstone trip, a two week tour of the east coast of the United States to change the atmosphere of those sunken and dark places, where we entered, accepted, and brought praise to Jesus Christ by lifting Him above the darkness. John 1:5 "The Light shines in the Darkness, and the Darkness has not overcome it." 

We did so much during this two week tour, that I will write about at a later date, but for now, please be placated with this video that serves as a mission statement of our trip and follows our first day on tour.
