I just finished the book "Forgotten God" by Francis Chan and it really had me thinking. He challenges the readers in the end to stop talking and brainstorming how to live radically but to DO it. To let the Spirit work in us and live accordingly. It made me look around me and realize that the place I am living is set up how Christ desired us to live. I am currently living in Mexico at Foundation for His Ministries. Its a large ministry that began as an orphanage. Now it is not only an orphanage but they have ministries that reach out to the surrounding community surrounding, they are training missionaries, they have a school, a clinic, a school for the physically and mentally disabled, an ambulance ministry and much more. People know they can come here and we will do anything in our power to help. Orphans find a home here, ex-gang members and drug addicts are accepted with open arms. The hungry are fed, the sick are tended after. If you have extra you give it to those in need. You can look into the eyes of the people here and see JOY because they experience it. I cannot express what an incredible place it is. If you have never been here COME, see it for yourself. You will NEVER be the same!
