Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in Boston


My Dear Friend, Bishop Joey Mojica downstairs in the CUME building in Boston.

Joey and I are participating in the Leader of Leaders Program at the Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in Boston. We are pursuing a Master of Arts in Urban Ministry from GCTS.
Dr. Eldin Villafane is the Department Chair of Urban Ministerial Studies at Gordon Conwell Seminary. Dr. Villafane has been a joy to sit under. He is anointed by the Holy Spirit in his teaching and has a passion for ministering to broken people. In addition to his teaching at Gordon Conwell and Harvard University, Dr. Villafane is the author of "Beyond Cheap Grace" and "Seek the Peace of the City."
Two of my friends led this morning's devotion before class. On the left is Bishop Joey Garcia, Overseer of California Spanish and on the right is Bishop Franklin Ferguson, Pastor of E Street Church of God of Prophecy in Nassau, Bahamas. These two friends have been a pleasure to spend time with this week.



This is a beautiful church located beside the CUME building in South Boston


This was the scene when we landed at the Memphis Airport on Monday morning... it was God's grace that got us a flight to Boston out of Memphis!


The Center for Urban Ministerial Education at Gordon Conwell Seminary. The CUME Center is a huge building constructed in 2006 by the Seminary in the South part of Boston. This beautiful, state of the art building is located in the heart of inner-city Boston by design. It's focus is on bringing Christ to those who are hurting most in the inner-city. The 118 acre main campus of GCTS is located on Boston's North Shore.
