CHICAGO RESOURCES

The PRAY4CHICAGO PROJECT: A Chicago Spiritual Map — We’re working on drawing up a “spiritual map of the city” a wiki website devoted to learning the city of Chicago, seeing it as a mission field. In each of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods, we share our gut feelings, prayers, conversations, community wells and photographs.  It is a research project, but its also an on-ramp for people interested in doing missions in Chicago!  Please pray with us for God’s peace in this city!

Chicago Research and Reflections — a series of posts on Chicago from the eyes and heart of yours truly.  From serious missionary research to the mundane! :-)

Chicago links I’ve compiled for your heart’s content: Chicago housing, transit, non-profit organizations and more.
