Jesus sends out His disciples to various towns and cities. He pairs them up. He instructs them. Their message is simple, yet profound…”repent”. It requires that you are honest with yourself. It reminds us that we have ALL sinned against God and one another. We need to change. We need Jesus to take away our sins… AND He does! It is a message worth repeating…often!!

Our prayers continue for all the Foster Care agencies and organizations around the country. What a great mission they have… to place kids into caring homes where they can be and feel like part of a family. Many of the kids have been through troubled times. Some have been abandoned. Some have been left alone due to deaths of parents. ALL need to feel the love and compassion of families who will take them and make them part of their home. Do whatever you can to support these families. Consider being a foster parent. It can change lives… it can change you. Stay blessed in ALL that you do for His cause and in serving others. Pass it on by sharing the message of repentance and the call to know Jesus now… and forever!
