Love this video; love how Scott Harrison and the folks at charity:water are building a movement around water. We have much to learn from them on the blending of gospel words and deeds.
I really like the line where the Haitians’ say
…. we are ready to give you our courage…
For those of us who believe in “integral mission”–the inseparable nature of the gospel’s kingdom focus in which for Jesus to be Lord at all, he must be Lord over all –this line reflects the “courage” needed in the church to work with brothers and sisters around the world to make Jesus King in every heart and in every place.
Just started reading Dewi Hughes’ book, Power and Poverty: Divine and Human Rule in a World of Need. He concludes with these words, words that describe the heart of movement leaders thru out history.
Better to die in the service of a kingdom that will never end than live comfortably in an empire passing away. It is better to listen to the crying now and respond in prophetic speech, prayer and acts of love, because we belong to a kingdom where there will one day be no more crying, than shut our ears and say and do nothing because we belong to a kingdom in which crying will never cease.
