No one gets left behind...

Another day while at Manna House, I ran into Jay. Jay was heading to Uganda as a representative of "Invisible Children". Many of you have heard of this movement. I heard about it a year ago while looking at a friend's website and contacted them. I bought the DVD, t-shirts and tried to encourage them with what they were doing. Meeting Jay was a wonderful privilege. He explained that they now have a vision for Cambodia, where there are also many child soldiers. Jay explained that many young people who don't know Jesus are getting involved as well as organizations. This is so missional in its approach because the purpose is redeeming what has been lost, justice and mercy - Micah 6:8. This may well be the theme verse for the emerging generation as many are embracing the missional vision of the Church or what one visionary is doing with a resurrected term, Missio Dei. Jay shared how many who don't know Jesus are helping to carry the load and in the process rubbing shoulders with justice and mercy loving Jesus followers who are living out their faith in a much fuller way through this initiative. That's amazing but even more than that is what they are actually doing together for the Kingdom - check out the website! www.invisiblechildren.com Please be in prayer for this amazing Kingdom work and for those who will encounter the much fuller vision of the Gospel and be challenged to encounter Justice and Mercy Himself, the discplaced child-God who had to run for his life from those who would seek to take it from Him only for Him to give it to them in the end. Pray for Jay and Emmy!
