"How did a spirituality such as Christianity, a spirituality that speaks eternity, a world without end, of forgiveness of sins and a mysterious union with the Godhead, come to be represented by a moralist agenda and a trickle-down economic theory? And more important, how did a man born of Eastern decent, a man who called Himself Prince of Peace, a man whom the sacred writings describe eating with prostitutes and providing wine at weddings and healing the sick and ignoring any political plot, a man who wants to turn the other cheek and give all our possessions if we are sued, become associated with- no, become the poster boy for- a Western moral and financial agenda communicated through the rhetoric of war and ignorant of the damage it is causing to a world living in poverty?" -Searching For God Knows What Donald Miller
Our dream and our calling in life is to be missionaries, and mind you not the kind of missionaries who "evangelize" but the kind who venture into the world and share the love that Christ came to expose. This coming summer we may be taking a trip to Africa... Our first trip to this continent and our first exposure to this dream. Prayers would be greatly appreciated as we figure out the details, such as cost, and as we learn what the Lord has for us.
