“Personal exposure to needs is often a prerequisite for a lifestyle of deep, sacrificial generosity on behalf of others. Commitments of money, time, and personal energy can develop when the prospering truly see the suffering of the poor and weak. The exposure can then lead to believers truly growing as…people who not only help the poor but know them in real relationships.”
Amy Sherman in Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good (Downers Grove: IVP, 2010) 74.
Edgar and Gladys Güitz, our friends from Potter’s House, were staying with us over the past week and returned to Guatemala. They have helped our family not only see the destitute but to get to know them as Treasures. Take a few minutes to see what they do in this video. It will bless you. If you want information on taking a group there, let us know. The “personal exposure” (as Sherman puts it) has been life-changing for our family and friends.
