“Who is my neighbor?”
(Luke 10:29)
“How am I to be a neighbor?”
Jesus followed this question with the Good Samaritan parable.
How are we neighbors with people who seem different from us?
How are we neighbors with people half way across the world?
How do we open our Hearts to people in devastating need?
Stories coming out of Darfur and Rwanda from twenty years ago began these questions.
As we struggle with these questions, we’ve been led to plan a trip to Uganda, Africa. We have committed to a trip from September 8th through November 9th of this year. Our goal is to better understand how to be neighbors.
St. Francis presents a powerful model of how to see Christ in others. We are currently studying St. Francis and will spend a week in Assisi, Italy in preparation for this spiritual quest to open to what it is to be a true neighbor.
We would be grateful for your prayers in this process.
So good to have you come along with us on this insightful journey.
Steve & Elizabeth
