Every day of ministry I have the ability to connect with people on some level. And obviously as a Christian it is that of faith, most of the times. That actually looks like giving words to people, being intentional and interested in their life story. Getting past just being around them to wanting to get connected outside of ministry. It’s hard to make time even now to go out with some men for example that we meet. Because our weekend time with our squad is important to us. But I always come back to myself and say are they worth my free time. OF COARSE THEY ARE!!
Also Doing ministry last Friday night with women and men who sell themselves on the street was humbling to say the least. It’s so heartbreaking yet such an opportunity for breakthrough in their life. A lot have a lack of love in their life. But we got to extend that through coffee, cookies and convo. Just going to the safe house of the ministry was mind blowing. The passion they have had for 9 years of doing this is a testament to Gods faithfulness. I was so comforted by the amount of young people who are willing to step out and serve Gods children. They have let God take them somewhere else so they can love others. Although I may have the ability to see some people once through ministry. It leaves a lasting impact because of who we do it for. Christ. Seeing how much work is in the field and how there are few workers gets me fired up to take full advantage of my 9 months. Just wanted to share some mind notes.
Side note:: I’ve seen so many people that look like my family members back home. Great way for God to remind me of who I’m impacting.
