I also believe that we need to be smart in proper vetting. My husband and I work in the medical field and these principles apply to the broken in our on communities You are right, it is our duty to be a light and a mentor to all.

As we support the global needs, I trust that in like fashion we will also reach out to the less fortunate around us, to those who have been caught up in substance addictions, and to the unborn who are without a voice. Compassion and justice should not be a political statement, but the outworking of Christ's forgiveness and grace toward us.

Grace + Peace...may we all find an abundance of both.

Lead Pastor Odessa First Church of the Nazarene

Wonderful reflection and some wonderful ideas for making a difference through the body of Christ.

Wonderful reflection, reminding us that following the Gospel does not guarantee our earthly safety or comfort but instead calls us to risk everything for the sake of Christ.

I would be like Jesus.

We are thankful for the continued growing support of our ministry to vulnerable immigrants in the state of Florida in the south east field of the USA Canada region.

Thanks, Eric!
