Calling Out the Called

It's a funny thing when God gives you a burden for a particular ministry or people group. Your whole perspective changes and where you used to just see a town, you see a glaring need. My problem now is that as I look at towns all around Wisconsin, I see the need in so many of those places.

In Waunakee, I see a need. A friend of mine runs an outreach there providing food, clothing, household goods and other services on a monthly basis to those in need. They're now servicing over 350 people a month. I recently asked her how many non- or little-English speaking families they were helping...about 40 families a month. They need translators to come help during store hours now. My ESL-mind already sees the makings of an ESL ministry.

I see a similar need in Sauk City,

in Madison,

and in countless towns and cities around this state.

In the twin cities up in Minnesota there are hundreds of Somali refugees in need.

How can one person make a difference?

1. Pray - pray for workers for the harvest
2. Spread the word - let others know about this great ministry! Did you know that right now, God is calling someone to begin an ESL ministry? They just don't know it yet!
3. Answer - maybe that person is you!
