As I mentioned before the direct correlation between Clayton and Jonno is almost identical. They shared minuscule moments in which they construct small bonds which helps express my argument as they both strive for the same outcome to become a viral success and attract an audience. With their each of their unique and individual art form we see Clayton and Jonno trying to invoke the brokenness of Detroit through their work of art as stated in this quote “Against the decaying backdrop of present-day Detroit, a series of horrific crimes appear to be the work of a twisted serial killer.

Detroit Experience Paper Being immersed into the inner city is something not only urban ministry majors should experience, but all Christ followers. The many things we experienced during the weekend taught me a lot and helped further prepare me for my own ministry in an urban setting. Experiences such as the charter school, Beast of the Beats, CDC, talking to a homosexual pastor, and Tabernacle Revival Church made me feel a wide mix of emotions.

I remember how amazed I was when we won the battle in Trenton. That was a day that will always be remembered. I never knew how much the Boston Tea Party in 1773 would impact my live today.

On August 27th 2015 me and my wife sat at home expecting the our son any moment. My mother was also with us and was there to help us after the baby was born.

A memorable day I my life is when I first found out I was a diabetic. I was scared and didn’t really understand what was happening. I was too sick, and for the most part out of my mind.
