Please allow me to be vulnerable today....


As I travel and share the needs of Congo, I often hear the response “we are so lucky, here” or “we are so blessed”. 
Now let me whole heartedly agree with these statements. YES, we are! My quandary exists in the aftermath of this revelation. Knowing we are abundantly gifted is one thing, however, do we then walk on feeling entitled? Are we in some way, more deserving than the......well, you KNOW the stories, you’ve seen the pictures......what do you think? Are we? Entitlement justifies us to carry on with no accountability to other’s suffering. Yes, I know we can’t solve all the world’s ills, but does that absolve us from trying to help some? If each of us helped some......what could we accomplish, together?
I challenge you today......respond! Support some worthy cause or organization that is genuinely bringing effective aid. Everyone that ministry touches.....you touch! With your partnership, they can accomplish more than they could on their own!
