Ok …. just a quick breather from all that is happening around us. I have been thinking lately after attending an Amahoro (peace) gathering with African leaders from over the whole African continent. It was great meeting old friends and being introduced to new ones. I listened to their stories on transformation and how communities are changed. Thinking? Thinking on how to bring Jesus closer to people in our culture.
Deep in the bush where I live sharing Jesus is not as easy as it looks. I am here to help and assist communities to be transformed and in the process find the ultimate Saviour, Jesus Christ. Here life and submerging into culture is so much different. It takes a lot of creative ideas to get people to sit around a fire and share. But I realize …………… for all of us …………….. if we make time to listen to THEIR STORIES you will find common ground ………….. and eventually that will end up to be the higher ground you are looking for. I have just seen a great transformation of a family who changed. In fact we have just had a bunch of nurses from Canada and it was so great to see the transformation in their lives ………… because they served …………….. they listened ………….. and they too found common ground.
BOTTOM LINE:
The Word needs to become flesh and blood again ……………. and miracles are awaiting!
