I grew up in a small town in Louisiana.  I only visited big cities when our family would travel either to the Big Easy (New Orleans) or places like Houston and Dallas.  So when I went to Seminary in St. Louis you could imagine the adjustments I had to make.  There was more that two freeway systems.  There was more traffic during rush hour than there were people in Baton Rouge.  But the biggest adjustment involved ministry.  There seemed to be so many more hurting and needy people.  I would get people walking up to the church doors ( and still do) almost daily asking for money and help.  Some needing to feed their children others with stories of trying to get home.  The needs just seem so great.  It reminds me of the words of Jesus the poor will always be among you.   But the question is what do we do about the need. My best answer is being the church in Acts 2.  One were people come together and give generously.  But the key also is the fellowship.  We need that also in the city. In my little small town we all seemed to share a common bond. That seems lost in the big city.
