Another mound of trash beside the road - that's what the missionaries on a tour of Baptist work in Nairobi thought they were seeing while passing through a slum area known for housing the trash dump for their East African city of 4 million people. But drawing closer, we realized we were viewing a 'jumble sale' - the good stuff gleaned from the trash which might be sold to the slum residents for a shilling or two! Join me in praying to day that as we serve as our Father's Heart, Hands and Voice we will find the needed balance – to not be overwhelmed by all we encounter, yet always have hearts that can be broken enough to spur us to minister as our Father’s hands and voice!
