Not governments...
Not relief organizations...
Not NGO's...
Not Business...
Not Unions...
Not social ACTION GROUPS...
Not the RED CROSS...
Not food banks or World Banks...can do for suffering folks what the church can do.
Don't get me wrong...all these organizations can do GOOD things to relieve suffering.
But after all the relief organizations have packed their tents and moved on to the next crisis..THE CHURCH REMAINS.
That's why we partner with the local pastor in relief...the church, the Bride of Christ, can bring hope and change to broken lives by introducing them to the good news of God's love and Christ's offer of forgiveness and new life.
Only the church...only the Lord.

Can't wait to hear more from you on how things went. We get home from South Dakota on May 28th so also hoping that we are back to hear your stories.
ReplyDeleteWe saw Gerald and Tammy last night at church and it sounded like you were heading for home. Praying for safe travels for all of you!
