Mexico missions trip

Today in service we had a chance to watch a video of Maria talking about her upcoming missions trip with Kim to Mexico to help out an orphanage. What a fantastic video. We'll make the vodcast available just as soon as we get it ready. I thought the video was compelling?

It is so disturbing to hear that these children have nobody to love them. They have no papers, so in the eyes of their government they don't even exist. What is exciting is the fact that Maria and Kim want so much to show these unwanted babies love that they are putting their lives on hold to head down to Mexico and just love them. This is the kind of ministry I see Jesus doing all the time in the stores I read in the bible. Jesus finds a need and rushes to meet it. He doesn't wait until they have accepted some truth he tells them, He doesn't ask them to sign up for a certain creed, Jesus just goes to people in their deepest need and loves them. That is exactly what these women are doing...they have found a need that touches them and when they heard God's voice asking them to help out, they were willing to say YES.

Maybe this isn't the people group God has laid on your heart. Maybe there is another need that you uniquely know about and feel compelled to do something about. Let me encourage you to get involved! We are all unique beings made for our own part of God's purposes on earth. Maybe you are to help with unique needs men have or young mothers or the poor or homeless or....? Only God knows what he made you for...are you willing to spend the time needed to find out what He has for you?
