On my way home from work this afternoon, I was listening to a sermon series from LifeChurch.tv on the topic of the church being for “Church People” and how this goes against what God wanted for the church. That the church is for the outsiders, and not for the ones that are already inside.

Listening to this topic, I started thinking about what is happening in the cell group where we used to go, and how awesome God is in working through these people to really go out and make a difference in the lives of the needy. The group, with us still included, are going to cook food for the men that sit on the street corners over the weekends, looking for piece jobs. They have work during the week, probably earning about R80 a day, but over the weekend they don’t have work and therefore are hoping that somebody needs a causal worker in the garden over the weekend.

Now, if this person is still sitting on the street corner at noon, the chances are pretty much 90% that they will go hungry for the day.

I am freaked out about the fact that we are FINALLY going to step out as a group of friends to really do something, and stop talking about how we can do what.

Just wanted to keep you on the up and up, and I will post feedback about the day with some pictures on Sunday, but in the meantime, please just pray for this group and for the peoples’ lives we are going to impact.
