Copenhagen – Day Two

This week I have been able to spend some time with Grady  here in Copenhagen.

Grady is a photographer and his wife is an artist and writer. They both are incredible examples of artists who are  living out their lives as salt and light in any community in which they live.

We have had several cups of coffee this week in Copenhagen. You will find a great post that he wrote while here this week here.

I asked him “Why Copenhagen? As I have been here over the last few days his answer makes total sense.

Copenhagen is a city full of artists. They feel a kinship to the arts. They believe that this is a part of the world that as a family they could live long term and really connect with people and have a ministry through a relational context.

I also asked him about where do they desire to live in Copenhagen? He says they are looking for a place that strikes  a balance between being close to where artists spend a lot of time such as galleries or cafes and to where as a young family they can develop relationships.  Intentionality is important in missional living.

If you are interested in learning more about their ministry you can send an email to info@theupstreamcollective.org
