Drawing the Summer to a close

The summer went by so very fast. The staff in Miami are taking this time to retreat right here in town. We're reflecting on the many ways that God was alive and present in every way. From the agencies and the many clients we met, to the hundreds of volunteers God's grace, love and mercy were tangible. For the staff personally we're reading Henry Nouwen's In the Name of Jesus. Nouwen writes of the three temptations of Christ. We reflect on those temptations and realize how closely they'll parallel our experience this summer. We have only begun to learn these important lessons in Christian servant-leadership. We thank you for your prayers and support this season.
