“God unmistakably connects caring for the poor to His own presence. When we are generous to the poor, we honor the Lord, bear His image, and reflect His heart. Conversely, when we neglect to do so, we taunt our Maker (Prov. 14:31).”

Jenni and I will be serving church and Christian school leaders in Honduras this week who are largely poor. Please pray for a safe and fruitful journey.
We are asking God to prepare our hearts for what He will teach us on this trip, because every time we endeavor to serve the poor we are blessed beyond whatever we offer.
Don’t neglect the poor around you but be generous to them. And don’t be surprised if the blessing you receive from Christ far outweighs your humble service.
