There’s something special about people that have no reason to care about you and yet show that they do as much as they can. I encountered that a couple times when I first arrived in KC, most recently at a small church located all the way in Leavenworth, KS (about a 45 mins. drive from where I live…even by Los Angeles standards that’s far!)
Faith Mission Miracle Deliverance Church offered pick-up service for my family when we didn’t have a car. As a matter of fact, it was one of their own parishioners that offered us the car we have, and at a pretty stinkin’ incredible price that we still appreciate to this day. Anyway, they’re beauty lies in their extreme care for the individuals that become part of their church family. They welcome you in and call and just make sure you know that you’re not alone in this life. And, that persistent, friendly care is offered after just talking with you over the phone! Let alone after they meet you!
I have to say it’s just something very new for me. And, I’m not quite sure how to integrate it into whatever God has me do, but I will figure it out. ‘Cause that’s a trying ministry, to really put your heart and soul into caring for an individual…that may not even be there tomorrow. But, to do it anyway, in anyway that you can afford to do. That kind of heart is very unlike what most of us encounter on a daily basis. And, can be intimidating. But, there’s something about it that is also comforting…to know that someone’s got your back. That means something, even if we don’t realize it until we need it.
And, they encourage your involvement in expressing yourself for Jesus. Whether they ask you to speak a few words at the pulpit or read scripture, or share worship in the form of song or dance…there’s an opportunity for you to be challenged when it comes to presenting who Christ is through how He works in You. Good stuff.
If you’re in Leavenworth, KS or within an hour’s drive, I encourage you check them out…or even call them for a pick-up! They’d love to serve you and welcome you!
