Breaking Free and considering what we've learned

This week we've been focusing on having compassion like Jesus had compassion. I think Jesus would be caring for the ladies of Breaking Free, a community of women freed from the life of prostitution and sexual exploitation caring for others in the same circumstances. Their mission is to "end all forms of prostitution and sex trafficking." We prepared a lunch together and delivered it to where they were holding classes, learning a little more about the organization .We wanted to serve them our best and serve them well.

During our lunch together - our final meal -  we debriefed the week.
"God is approachable to every culture."
"I feel like BUMP reinvigorated my drive to serve and solve the problems society faces today."
"God calls us to discomfort to stretch ourselves and draw us nearer to Him."
"Look at Minneapolis and St. Paul and other cultures more similarly to us and to be bold and engaging."

Matthew 9:36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

This week we saw, hopefully, what Jesus sees. Our hearts were moved with compassion. Hopefully, prayerfully, that will lead us all to action.
