Sometimes we have a misconception that God needs us to do something for Him. He definitely tells us to love others as we love ourselves and to make disciples. But He is already working and moving in all communities and nations before we can even get there. We make room for God to move in our lives when we humble ourselves to the idea that we are not responsible for bringing God to others because He is already engaged in their lives and communities, perhaps in unnoticed ways. When we pause to ask Him how He is working, we are often amazed to see how He has already been revealing Himself. For the Love of Missions continues to practice the discipline of learning where God is moving and joining Him there. It has been so encouraging to see fruit of that in our community development projects in both the Guatemala City garbage dump community and Popabaj. We have not had to come with a plan or an agenda, other than to love, and God continues to open the doors for us to join in His work of poverty alleviation and discipleship.
