Challenge

Lately i have been challenged by God to do more...

to be spending more time with Him

to be praying for the guys on the street in Adelaide more

to be praying for the people who live within in the city more,

to be praying for the council of Adelaide

to be spending more time on the streets, getting to know people

to get to know the community, both those in houses and in the street

to research more on what is actually the issues of homelessness in Adelaide.

to find out what boarding houses are around the place and visit them, and find out what they are like.

And to challenge other people to get involved.

So much of the time i have been by myself on the street, and at different times to minister to people, and that has sort of become an excuse for why i haven't done much of some of that stuff. (there is definitely room for improvement in all of it). And I AM SICK OF IT..... i am sick of the way that i fall into that trap, i am sick of feeling helpless about it all and feeling like i can't make a difference.

So i have decided that i am going to do it, i am going to be obedient and go hard .... in all of it...

I am sick and tired of going out and doing "ministry" stuff in the city by myself, and tonight i felt like i should be challenging/inviting people to come along/join with me in going out on the streets, and not care about what corps they go to or what even what church they go to.... cause it doesn't matter... we are one Church. And most of the people i chat with move on somewhere else anyway... they may even move on to suburb where a person who will come out with me is from, and then they can continue sharing Christ with that person.... if that makes sense ... to make it clearer.... if bob is from say Norwood corps, and he decides to come out with me, and we meet this guy, and the guy ends up getting a house in the norwood area, bob could very easily continue meeting with the guy, and sharing Christ with him.

So yeah this is my challenge for the coming weeks.... and i put it up here, as a part of being accountable with it...

What's God been challenging you about lately

Bless ya
