Serving in the third world

“Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We have a saying: ‘Actions speak louder than words!’ It is true. We can send ‘tight hugs’ all we like on social media but it will not feed the hungry, house the homeless or set captives free. Jesus, ultimately, is the answer, but we are His hands and feet.

Today it has begun to rain in the earthquake zone in western Nepal. The homeless are doing it tough. The shacks they have built outside of their wrecked homes are leaking and providing no warmth. Our team on the ground are being visually assaulted by the need and crying out for help. 

The Lord has an answer. He is wanting His solution. We must seek Him for that solution, as He is the master.

I have proposed a temporary solution, whilst we wait for promised money from Australia I can lend money already earmarked for another task. However, we need a consensus. All the team need to agree.

Serving in this third world country has it challenges but also its joys. Amen!
