As the 2013 season of ministry and mission begins, this
image is perfect to keep us all grounded on the reason why we go! So many times we are
focused on our desire to impact the masses and forget about the single
person a picture can impact.
Jesus focused His energy on individuals and met
them right where they were. He would sit beside the woman at the well or meet
with Nicodemus by night. Jesus would go to the cemetery to meet the family of
Lazarus, and he would go to the home of Lazarus to celebrate His life and death
with dear friends. Jesus was always going to where people lived their struggle
and would meet them there.
As I reflect back on our last mission trip, I saw
this photo of one of the little boys we met that had been captured by the
image. The faces are all so desperate and seem to burn into your mind and heart
forever. I think this is to remind all of us of the reason we are called to
go to the least of these...so that they will know we are Christians by our
love!
I would like you to pause for just a moment, and ask the
Lord to show you clearly where He wants you to go this year to be His hands and
His feet. Right now, don't stop or hesitate, right now ask Him where he is
guiding you to go.
Yes we need to serve the local community at home, but I
believe He also calls each of us to go! Where will you go this year to see
the faces of these little children who need to feel the love of Jesus in your
hands? Come on, let's Reach the World together, and Teach the Word to everyone
who will hear!
