Help me move that boulder! That darn immigration boulder. It's the one that has existed for more than 15 years. It doesn't seem to budge and, yes, I need your help. What on earth do I mean? Well, I have been praying more and more for the hope of immigration reform. I have been active mobilizing pastors, church leaders, and concerned Christians and I even received the opportunity to share with Congressional leaders why we need reform. There is a lot of "I" in those statements and I know that God uses a united "we" who stand together.
The image of a boulder came to mind this morning. I had a vision of what it would look like for more and more people joining me on the side of a mountain in an attempt to move a huge boulder out of the way. It was clear that I couldn't do it. As every added hand came to push, I became increasingly hopeful. This is how I feel about our need to join with the Pray4Reform movement going on nationally among evangelical Christians. Will you pray on your own or join a group of us on October 17th from 7-8am at Christ Community Evangelical Free Church. 1708 Baltimore Ave, Kansas City, MO 64108 OR October 16th from 8pm-9pm at Mosaikon Church. 15320 S. Ridgeview Rd., Olathe, KS 66062.
Thanks for helping me move this boulder!
Pray for -- (1) House Speaker Boehner to bring Immigration Reform to the House floor; (2) our Legislators to make choices that are noble, right, and true; (3) divisions to be melted for the common good; (4) courage to win over in the decisions our leaders make.
