New York - Cathedrals, Islam and more...

Sometimes during the day in the 'city that never sleeps', we get a chance to explore and see what makes New York unique and exciting. With a group of teenagers on our team, of course they wanted to visit a toy store, a candy store and a gift shop. We met a toy soldier who was eager to share a quick photo with us.


As we moved through the city, we also happened upon St Patrick's Cathedral near Rockefeller Center. We stopped in and got to learn more about our distant cousin (Catholicism) and see first hand how engrained the surrounding community was with this church. We also got to appreciate the beauty and architecture of the chapels within.

It's not all fun and games though in the city. The area that New Song of Hope operates from has a very high population of Islamic believing families. Within a 15 block radius of the Adamson's church, there are ~50 mosques, ranging in size. There is a large population also of Bengali (Bangladesh) living in the area. It's a stark truth that they are reminded of every day: many people still need to hear about the hope they can have in Jesus and know that whatever their scenario, they can call on the name of the Lord and be saved. Continue to pray for the Adamson's and their kingdom impact to a lost and dying world.
