"You give them something to eat": feeding kids who are learning about Jesus
At this weeks camp we had 42 kids from the streets/slums of an area of Metro Manila recruited by six churches. We had a great time as we learned about Gods love through the Gospel, enjoyed great food, swam, participated in many fun filled leaning activities and got to know one another. Working with bruised and battered kids can be very frightening and overwhelming but they're like any other child who needs love, guidance, training and their physical needs met. Christ is leading many of us to minister to the multitudes of children-in-crisis surrounding us and is telling us as He did His early disciples "You give them something to eat" (Mark 6:37) even though we like them have weak faith and are limited in our resources. However if we obey Him we'll see His plan working through us and His provision to accomplish it. As John 6:6 says this often is a test from the Lord. By the way I think campers have hallow legs because they consume 25 kilos of rice per meal along with plates of toppings three times per day along with two hearty snacks. We're giving them something to eat as they're learning about Jesus.
