reaching out

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;

when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

Have no fear of sudden disaster

or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

for the LORD will be at your side

and will keep your foot from being snared.

~ Proverbs 3: 24-26

How often do we worry about the cares of this world? The cost of gas, the chance of loosing our jobs, the threat of violence? It seems that everywhere we turn there is uncertainty and real fear is starting to creep into peoples minds.

One of the tourist attractions in Miami, Fl is the Holocaust memorial, which includes an aggrieved hand reaching up to heaven for help. It seems very appropriate where it stands as Miami has one of the largest homeless populations in the country. A condition that seems to echo the hopelessness of millions lost.

Not to sound like a broken record, but, when we move to Miami, we won't assume to be the cure to the homelessness problem.  There are many broken, hurting, HOPE-less people in Miami that are hungry for a God that cares. We want to be used as the hands of Jesus, feeding not only the physically hungry, but, helping feed the hungry souls as well.

As the hands and feet of Jesus,
we can be the hope in a hopeless world.
As the hands and feet of Jesus,
YOU can be the hope in a hopeless world.
