I spent this month in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, working with a local organization called “Love Story”. During our time in PE, I learned a lot, rested a lot, and was given a new heart for the people at home, in my own counrty. Here’s a short and sweet bullet list of what I hope to take back with me as I write my own ‘love story’, upon returning to the states later this year.
> Deeply,and personally investing in individuals empowers them in a beautiful, lasting way.
> Through creativity, both spiritual and physical needs can be met- in a loving and practical way.
> The importance of relational interaction is vital to walking out a Christ-like mission; It’s not about how many you reach or how much you accomplish, it’s about how you do it.
> There is immense value in placing routes in a community and investing in a change there.
> Making a difference and seeking out change, should be a normal, familiar part of everyday life.
