Small Thoughts On Social Justice
The longer I’m here at CGA the more I know that I want to do ministry in an area that involves social justice. I have little to no idea what that will look like. But I know that’s what moves my heart the most.
When I watch videos like this one, I feel like that’s something that gets the biggest emotional reaction out of me. When I read books like “The Irresistible Revolution” and read all of Shane Claiborne’s stories, I feel like those are the things I want to be a part of.
I don’t feel a desire to create my own ministry, start a church, or become a pastor; I feel a desire to join in with an already existing part of the Church Body. Sometimes I forget about this passion of mine, but I remember it when I hear stories of what’s going on with the refugees in Greece.
I remember it when people react so hatefully to the refugees fleeing for safety to other countries.
I remember it when I hear stories of wrongful imprisonment or wrongful conviction of a crime.
I remember it when I hear inspiring speeches from presidential candidates (#feelthebern).
My hope and goal is that while I’m here at CGA I’ll get a clearer idea of what I want to do with these desires. It’ll require asking God for some guidance and some intentionality and focus with the stuff that I’m learning here.
Whether it be refugees in Greece, sex trafficking ministry, moving to southern Africa, or something here in the states, I want to be ready and willing for whatever opportunities that God may present.
Be praying for me in regards to these things!
Peace be with you.
