With those who live in chronic lonliness and hopelessness, we share Christ's love, practical gifts and food, prayer, and fellowship. I wrestle with wanting to become more, so that they can see Him, not just the stuff we bring. Your writings help me see- they can see Him in the stuff......"First we show" I'm convinced that only the Church can breathe life on this segment of society. I am so grateful for all you have taught over the years. I'm certain the Lord wants us outside the four walls of the Church. I believe we're in this place of transition- it's like there's something on the horizon. Please pray for us. The leadership is weary. Apart from Him we can't do a thing..... Hi Steve,
