Somehow, in all of this darkness and brokenness and ugliness, Christ is here. I have found him more here than in the happy wholeness of before.
What is the point? Why am I even here? I’m just making things worse for everyone.
May my work today be for your worship, and the good of your creation. Redefine my idea of success for today. Make me a better worker.
Death before resurrection
That's the cycle; the schedule of events In life, inwardly and outwardly
To die so that we might live.
Acknowledge death
Sit in the dark with it 3 days, 3 nights
Passover the pain no more
And on the final day
Leave the grave clothes and grieving behind
And embrace Life.
Manuel and his family are still living in this community, not despite the danger, but because of it.
MoveIn’s European Vision Team is just three months old and it is already on the road mobilizing.

To comfort a dying, mourning world.

With divinity being born of a woman’s flesh.

My sons, the world will expect you to lift many burdens
but I tell you, the strength of your arms is
to lift children, love the poor,
and embrace the weak;
strengthen your feeble arms but carry only the Light Load.
