I know this poverty is hard to see. Imagine how I must feel not only seeing it in that one location but seeing it across the world at all times. Imagine how I feel as I look down not on strangers but individuals I have created to reflect my glory that are living in such conditions. It’s heart breaking.

You ask why. I think you know why. If you dig deeper you will find that what you’re really asking is why aren’t you doing more. Why aren’t you using the influence I’ve given you to more effectively stomp out such poverty? Why aren’t you using your resources more generously to put a dent in this epidemic problem?

Pete, just be my hands and feet. Love as I have loved. Give as I have given. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’ (Duet 15:11)

In Kindness,

God

A team of 20 from Cross Point spent their week working on the church building of our Dominican Republic church plant. Although the building is far from being completed, Pastor Moises led their first service in the new church on Easter Sunday.

Here is an awesome video of the construction and ministry that happened this past week. I am so proud of this group of men and women. I am also proud of the entire Cross Point Church who through their weekly giving is making the construction of this church possible. You guys humble me with your generosity.
