Joanna Snow Ministries is located in Downtown Mobile, Alabama, and we love it!Pictured above is the cross placed in Bienville Square, across Dauphin Street from our offices. The plaques on the cross read: “To Jean Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville. Native of Montreal, Canada, Naval Officer of France, Governor of Louisiana, and founder of the first capital, Mobile, in 1711. Born: 1680; Died: 1768. With the genius to create an empire and the courage to maintain it, patient amid faction and successful even in defeat, he brought his settlement the prosperity of true civilization and the happiness of real Christianity. He who founds a city builds himself a life-long monument. Colonial Dames of Alabama February 1906” I love the idea that “he who founds a city builds himself a life-long monument.” You may not found a literal city, but take a minute to think about what you have established. Jesus compared you to a bright city on a hill. You have founded relationships, connections, and influence! God wants to continue to use you to bless others and to expand His Kingdom. That is your life-long monument. You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. — Matthew 5:14
