Many of you will remember a blog I posted a few months ago about a little boy that touched many hearts in the Philippines. Michael Angelo’s story unfortunately is replicated throughout the world and we have encountered many more Michael Angelo’s since October. As we travel we bless them, pray for them and love on them. We do our best to be Jesus to them.
It is easy at times to be overwhelmed by the constant need and to trust that we are doing Jesus’ best in all situations. I just talked to my squad this week about the importance of only being about our Father’s business. Everywhere we look there are needs, but we only need to ask the Father where He is working and join him there; we refuse to be crippled and silenced by the constant need.
In John 5:19 Jesus says “I assure you, the Son can do nothing by himself. He only does what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.” If Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing, than how much more do we need to be following this example?
I was reminded this month that this lifestyle I am leading is about so much more than just the World Race. God’s perspective is so much wider than the small little lens that I am looking through. The blog about Michael Angelo touched hearts everywhere and one of those hearts was of my best friend. Sarah has one of the most compassionate hearts of anyone I have ever met and I was not surprised to get her email saying she wanted to do something to help. 
It is not the first time that the people we have encountered have broken hearts and moved us to compassion.
In this particular case Sarah and her family were so moved that they decided to forego Christmas for themselves and instead provide Christmas for Michael Angelo and his family. More than just Christmas they provided food, clothing, household items, school fees, and a future source of income for the family.
This was one family being Jesus to another family.
