The point I'm trying to make is that if you have enough money to live off of, your better off then a huge hunk of the world. Now its easy to just ignore the rest of the world and only think of yourself, but despite what some people say you can make a difference. Maybe you can't save the world but you could save a handful of people's lives. I spent alittle over 2,700$ on my trip and I gave out at least a hundred bags of rice with my team, we gave out about a half dozen other meals to the slum children and played with them. We actually improved their lives and another team arrived a few days before we left to keep up the aid and keep the rice coming and help the people. So the question is whats stopping you Christian or not from helping people in your country or around the world? |
People have jobs, so they can't go on missions. It would be good if people can offer more financially. As for myself, I am barely able to keep my car on the road and I have to nickle and dime everything, because I live off handouts and do not see any indication soon of things being different. Things are so lame on the part of the government to try to help, I am in a limbo state on the job front. And on that note, a bunch of other people are barely living paycheck to paycheck.
So, for now, due to this state, I have resolved to do the starving artist route, cranking out boardgame designs, and not caring about much else besides a gaming community I am trying to build. Would of considered a more spiritual route, but it seems like churches really either don't care or know what to do.
