Holistic ministry becomes more and more the way to go... if only other people would see that. It is not about tracts, literature, etc and everything "Christians" have made the gospel out to be... people see Christ through our actions. If the words we speak are not followed by action they are meaningless. Glad to hear about you sacrificing your time to go love on hurting people. While there may not have been fruit at the present, those people will remember you, what you did and what you said. Seeds have been planted and it is God who will cause them to grow. Just a thought.. Grace and peace this day.

What an awesome experience to serve others while building God's kingdom! What a great opportunity to encourage those who are starting over.... I'm glad you were able to go. :) Chris,

Praise the Lord for how He ordained that this be so! This Sunday at church, two couples from my church (who have both experienced more suffering than anyone "should" go through in a lifetime) talked to us about their time at Desiring God's conference on Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. They retold some of the speaker's main points and I just have to say that believing that God not just "allows" these kind of things in our life (wether it be a death of a child, cancer, or a hurricane), but that He is the One who puts them in our life for good, good from God's perspective, an eternal good, is the greatest comfort a human can know. My heart breaks for those without that hope. Where is the hope for this lost world? It is our Sovereign King!!! My $.02 Thanks, Chris, for following your conscience and going to help the afflicted!!!
