Solomon's Porch

I'm headed to Minneapolis, Minnesota tomorrow to do a little reconaissance at Solomon's Porch (http://solomonsporch.com/index.html). They're doing some unique things so I wanted to go and get some ideas for our coffeehouse service that we'll launch at Ebenezers in January of '06.

I'm taking Parker with me and we're going to head up to Alexandria, Minnesota where our family used to vacation every year when I was growing up. It during during a prayer walk through a cow pasture near Lake Ida that I felt called to ministry in August 1989. I can't even put into words how it feels knowing that'll I'll be in Alex tomorrow night. I feel like I'm eight years-old again. I remember the intense anticipation for weeks before vacation. I could hardly wait. That's how I feel today.

I'll preach at Union tomorrow and then head to the airport.

Hi Mark,

Just wanted to write to you, now that I have been reading your book I have been blessed greatly and renewed in the mind too. Its such a nice book and I have never found a book that is so so whole and challenging. Thank you so much for coming here to Addis with the team and supporting us. It's a good thing that our church is reading your book all at the same time so that we can all be in the same spirit and mind as we begin a journey together. I hope you are all doing well at NCC, pass my greetings and love to the team. I had a look at your website and there is good stuff in it.

God bless you and keep pressing on, you are doing a good work.

Abenezer Mekuria.
