Poverty....

Todd from YouthWorks spoke about poverty yesterday and challenged the teams to consider what poverty really means within our communities and in the lives of the young people who will be coming to serve. Poverty is a real problem and the Bible has some incredible things to say about how we are to respond and treat poverty. God doesn’t want poverty, God didn’t create poverty. God wants all his children to have everything they can to sustain them and to give them a hope and a future. One thing that struck me was that people fly all over the states, even all over the world to do missions which is great. But when we travel to our locations we are bypassing mission fields that are all around us. That got me thinking about my grand ideas about wanting to be in Georgia when I leave Asbury.
