There must be more...go back? Come along...?

Over the past 18 months I have been somewhat intentional about what James admonished us to know - become a "do'er" - "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." (Jas. 1:22) - the kicker is that being a do'er generally has some kind of intentional focus on the "object" of the "do". Hand a homeless guy a lunch - that's a good thing - give him a hug - that's a better thing I guess - tell him Jesus loves him - that's maybe the ultimate thing. But to know that Jesus loves him through you - and telling him that YOU love him and really do - in his "filth" - we help them see past the self-image of junk to how the Lord really does love them.

And I'm changed...

I hope you've found the same reality - same truth in stepping out of your comfort zone and hugging/loving what the world says is very unlovable. In the doing - you'll find the path to unconditional love. Not easy - but if not "the" path - certainly the pavers or morter of the path...

So - what if 20 of us gathered together - and we each found 50 supporters - and we encouraged each supporter to provide us with $100? Do that math - head back in July next year - we've got about 10 months - $10 per month per supporter - do that math. It might cost $40-$50k to put 20 people on the ground - ugh. A lot of money. Consider what we could do with the leftover...

Build a church...??

Build a school...??

Dig a well...??

Feed an entire orphanage for X months...??

What do you think? Ask yourself this question - is this really God's will? In the context of Matthew 5:16 - - - I think we have a great opportunity to come together and put that lamp on a hill...

In Christ -
