The Lord’s Prayer with Chaplain Naomi Dassow

A few thoughts, ideas, and beliefs on Neighboring

Proclaim and embody the love of Jesus Christ in the City and the World...starting in your neighborhood. 

Who is my neighbor? God has a plan! 

 

Filling in the spots. 37 more!

 

 

 As a friend at church, Bill, recently said, "Lettuce Pray"... 

 

A few lettuce plants for future "distribution"! To our "neighbors"!

Alittle too shady even for lettuce!

Will have to find some new locations for these plants!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Found a new location! Holy Grounds Coffeehouse at Eastbrook Church. 

Moved majority of lettuce plants there.

Will harvest for our Food Pantry clients end of June or beginning of July. 

 

Transplanted in bed. Protected with chicken wire to prevent rabbits having a feast!

Poolside: Lots of Sun!

  Thanks Pastor Matt for the "neighborly" words of life last weekend. Enough for everyone! 

 The lettuce! Supply & Distribution.

 A series of sermons on Neighboring! 

 

This is a series on neighboring, building off the idea that love for God overflows into love for neighbor, as illustrated by Jesus’ teaching on the greatest commandment, and expanded by the parable of the Good Samaritan. In this series we will explore ways in which we can live as neighbors practically with those right around us.

 

Some practical ideas on doing a "Prayer Walk Around Your Neighborhood." 

 

 

 

 

On our journey with Jesus

"The trail is long, and we won't arrive at our destination in this life. Still, we're on the journey with Jesus for the greatest thrill of our lives." Zig Ziglar

 

As Paul Borthwick says in his book: How to Be a World-Class Christian: Becoming Part of God's Global Kingdom:  "Through prayer, we can join any team that God is using. We can join in the efforts of missionaries in the Amazon River valley, in the ministries of pastors in Sri Lanka, or in the evangelistic effort of "tentmakers' in North Africa!"  P. 73

So, look for what God is doing in the world...and become a part of a "team" that is praying for that country, region and or missionary.  You can become a part of a team, no matter where you live.

Start where you are. Your church missions group, and or other missions or missionaries you already know. Or go to Operation World  

 

A wealth of info on what God is doing in the world.

Another good resource is Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. A prior blog post of mine gives info on this. Perspectives

 

You don't necessarily have to physically go to a foreign country...But the LORD has already given us the call to "GO"....first 2 letters of his name. GOD.

For those of us who are Boomers or Boomers and Beyond and can't physically travel to another country...your influence can and will continue no matter where you are.

As we finish our journey and one day stand before the LORD,  we will hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."  Matthew 25:21


Isn't that what we want to hear? I do

And just maybe...when the LORD returns and creates a new earth...the LORD may take us to that region  and we will  meet the people we were praying for...and the others who were on our "team" and then see how we did make a difference in the world and for all eternity!

Happy journey!

You might be wondering What is a World-Class Christian?

"Anthropologists..explain that at our core is a basic view of reality-a worldview. That worldview determines who we are, what we value, and how we behave." Gordon Aeschliman
