It is who we are.


This is Louie. He belongs to a missionary family here from New Zealand. On this wonderful night I had the amazing opportunity to babysit them and let their mom and dad go out for much needed alone time. This may not seem like the kind of story you would expect on here, but that's exactly why I'm writing about it. As Christians we have one commandment. Love God and love others. Do to others as we would want them to do to us.

Ministry is not just about those on the streets, but those in our very own family, our own brothers and sisters in Christ. We are called to love.


On this night, I got to love three precious boys and make amazing memories they won't soon forget. Bondfires, smores, climbing trees, treasure hunts, jumprope... And I got to serve my brother and sister in Christ.



Love is all that matters, and as we grow in our relationship with Father God we should begin to become love to everyone around us.


God is love.

And those memories are so special! They are so excited to have time with you Charissa - you show them value. You show them they have great value because of who they are but also because God values them. These are seeds that take root and impact our childrens lives forever.
THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
We love you Charissa!
