God Stretches

September 3, 2022 - God is always stretching us, and He uses people, new technology, His Word, circumstances etc to get us out of our comfort zone. The other day as I was praying over the cafe, I asked Him, "Father what specifically is our purpose. Why are we here? Does any of this make a difference in people's lives"? Yes, even after nearly 11 years, I still think about those things. God directed me to Luke 4:18-19 which says, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery for the blind, to set the oppressed free. To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

Is that not cool? Jesus loves this ministry BECAUSE it reflects the very nature of HIS heart. I have to say that when I realized that simple, yet profound fact, I wept. It is not by anything that Steve and I have accomplished, but CC exists because this is how Jesus ministered. By simply loving people. Showing great love and compassion and directing them toward a better path.

We minister to ALL people. The poor, those who need healing, the oppressed and now our Father is making it possible to reach out to those who are in jail. You see, we may have forgotten about THOSE people, but Jesus has not. It's taken us awhile, but i think we have found a way to reach those in prison. Steve will start on Wednesday, a new program called, "Setting the Captives Free". He will start doing virtual visitations with some of our clients who are currently housed in the county jail. They may be locked up now, but Jesus wants to set them free.

Pray for Steve. Computer technology is completely new to him. Pray that our friends will want to connect with Steve and will have receptive hearts to the truth of the Gospel. This may or may not work, but we're going to give it a shot. Let's see what God might do :)
