| Introducing the “Río de Agua Viva” team! |
To
La Ceiba, Honduras we go to TEACH,
to LISTEN,
and to CARE.
Made up of a wide variety of first-time missionaries, this team and
its message are growing. Up from ten members after just a few weeks
to almost twenty after three months of planning. Why has this team
grown so large in the absence of a typical AHMEN medical brigade
component? I think the key part in our message, beyond TLC, is
our pursuit to SHARE!
Sharing
is an equal exchange, a luxury we take advantage of, and an
experience that the disenfranchised don't always enjoy on a regular
basis. Of course, the
under-appreciated of the world are forced to sacrifice as a form of
sharing, but true sharing is not a sacrifice! The act of teaching is
sharing information. Information is power. The process of listening
opens up pathways for empathy. To empathize is to begin to break
down barriers. The act of caring is a pursuit of freedom. Being
free is to build bridges to success and burn down the ones toward
failure. Sharing is
what we are on this earth to do.
Who
is on this team??
What
will they be doing in La Ceiba?
Stay
tuned to find out next week...Same AHMEN time, Same AHMEN blog!
Together,
we are the difference.
As Children we were taught to share, and Jesus has required us to share the gospel with all people this is what A.H.M.E.N. does and that is what we are to do every day as Christians.
