I got to meet Rudy Carrasco yesterday in Pasadena. Rodolpho "Rudy" Carrasco is the executive director of Harambee Christian Family Center in Pasadena, CA. Founded by Dr. John Perkins, Harambee Center has offered Afterschool, Summer, and Teen programs for African-American and Latino children and youth since 1983.

Rudy is one of the emerging leaders of the emerging church who is making himself available as a resource to those called to urban missions. His on the job experience over the last several years, first working as an assistant to Harambee's founder, John Perkins, gives him a database to draw on.

In our short time together, I took away two important points. One is in the form of a question: "What will it take to get your undivided attention?" As an apprentice of Jesus, does God have your undivided attention? Second, God doesn't always consider our convenience when he calls us to a ministry...

Thanks Rudy, for sharing your wisdom and experience with me....
