Investing In Our Community

commūnitās (n) < Latin - a community; public spirit, a sense of duty and willingness to serve one’s community.

It was only 7-1/2 months ago that we completed our overseas mission, packed up our bags, and left our ‘New Zealand lives’ behind. It can be hard letting go of a place you’ve dwelt in, gotten to know, and developed community in. This has been true for us. But on the other hand, there has been excitement, novelty, and joy as we’ve returned to the United States and begun to establish ourselves amidst our new community in Broomfield, CO. Often, settling into a new community is a gradual process. It takes time and has its share of challenges and barriers as we seek out new friendships and ultimately work toward the goal of knowing others and being known. I’ve devoted this month’s blogging to sharing with you about some of the ways the Lord has led us to be involved with and serve our community. As always we are trusting the Lord to use these venues as channels for us to minister to and reach out to lost and hurting people around us. Pray that we would be salt and light Christ calls us to be while living in commūnitās.
