"Become as I am. . ."

Yesterday, we considered Paul's words in Galatians 4:11ff, and I mentioned briefly the difficulty with and the necessity of setting yourself out there as an example of faithfulness as part of what it means to "make disciples." It may feel odd and egoistic to have people follow your example, but for some reason God has chosen humans to be images of what it means to be His--to be, as one has said, "Jesus with skin on."

Here's an update from Mo Leverett who directs DesireStreet Ministries in New Orleans. His comments bespeak that same combination of awkwardness and gratitude at being an example.

Within a few months, we hope to journey to New Orleans to help Mo in the rebuilding. Have a look at what's going on.
