"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship...Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality." Romans 12:1, 9-13

Not Forgotten

Ever felt neglected or forgotten by those around you? Whether it is your family or friends, most of us at one time have missed out on receiving an invitation or had an important date in our lives forgotten by those around us. For thousands of children, elderly and disabled living on the streets in Kampala, Uganda being forgotten is a way of life. They not only have been neglected by their family and friends, but by the whole of society. But they have not been forgotten by our Lord. It is for these that He came! He came that those who are cast aside, might have One they can run to! And they have not been forgotten by a group of Ugandans either. A small NGO (non-profit) has just begun to serve these beautiful but neglected souls. I urge you to check out the website of this group which I have recently had the privilege to join and work with. Last week we went out on the streets of Kampala twice and handed out food, toys, medical care and the Love of Christ. It has been a humbling experience to witness the Love of Christ be passed to a child begging to survive, probably a slave to another. May we never forget those whom we are called to Love and Serve.
