prayer, spiritually poor,

We will not get rid of spiritual poverty without asking the spiritually poor to join in in helping the physically, mentally, and emotionally poor.

When talking about ministry in Aix saying that we prayed for people and gave out meals and worked with Emaeus made me feel like we were restoring the kingdom in all realms here. How can we invite them to do kingdom work if we haven't found it ourselves? Prayer and bible study are both strong. Conversations have their place, but why not have them over a time of serving if we can. Take them along to give away lunches or involve them in the good works that Jesus recreated us for.

I also think it is important to not forget about the reason why and the strength with which we do these works, Jesus. And why they mean something. We need the fullness of Christ's lordship.
