As I write this, Miguel’s voice is drifting down the hall and he is sharing with the team about a dream he had last night where he was ministering to the homeless. Sounds like nothing maybe, but to me this is a very significant thing. God has been doing something among our base staff and FYM team.

One of the girls had a similar dream a few nights ago in which our whole team was living as the poor and ministering to them with love and great joy. Last week, Miguel and I committed to making sure than no one in Las Canitas goes without food. Beth and Ali are memorizing and seeking to live Isaiah 61. Sarah has a huge vision in her heart to care for the poor and abused children of Guatchupita. Katrina is reaching out to the deaf of San Juan, precious souls that are constantly isolated and ridiculed due to a lack of awareness and education among the people surrounding them. Katie tirelessly ministers to the shoe shiner boys, a group of rough kids who are among San Juan’s poorest. Amber spends hours a week loving on the elderly and sharing with them the love of God. And there is more.

Individually and as a group the Lord is leading us to step up and care for the poor and the needy. He is calling us “to bind up the broken hearted” and “proclaim liberty to the captives.”

This is what we live for.
