Why this city?

Back in at London City Mission support centre, more work on the video. Yesterday and today I have some really painful mouth-ulcers and a sore throat - I feel run-down! I must have got my children's virus. The video is looking okay. I think it could be improved by giving more time to pre-production and hiring somebody regularly to do the work. I see that most org's are busy releasing video's or promotional material on an almost daily basis which keeps supporters informed and makes it possibile to get new supporters in the ridiuclously fast world of social networking and internet markets. It is good for accountability and record keeping too. The video we are producing looks at the reason for the work in London - many people can't see London as a mission field, and if you were looking at merely physical needs, you'd be almost right. But when you look at the spirit of this city, you will find a spirit of fear, anger, misuse, wickedness. It is not the London of the past, it has received many influences from other parts of the world. Some of them are good, but some of the thinking revolves around getting us to worship ourselves or other people. Narcissistic self-indulgent thinking and teaching. This video hopes in some way to show the reason for a London City Mission.
