It happened as I was evaluating the measurement of our influence in creating real spiritual transformation while assisting the amazing children’s ministry.
I was sitting around with a group of kids listening to them tell me about their life at home as others had many times before when all of a sudden, everything just seemed to stop as if I were in a dream. It was as though all that I had learned and observed throughout the years converged at once.
A weariness grew over my normally cheerful disposition. For so many years I had been striving to make a difference to see whole communities and cities be spiritually transformed and had missed the obvious. I couldn’t deny it anymore.
No matter how good we are at influencing peoples lives, in order to
be the most effective in those children’s life or any one else’s, we would need to live where they live and be part of the environment they live in.
It was time to do something I have never done before and I wasn’t sure how to do it.
