It is a beautiful thing when folks in poverty are no longer just a missions project but become genuine friends and family with whom we laugh, cry, dream, and struggle. One of the verses I have grown to love is the one where Jesus is preparing to leave the disciples and says, "I no longer call you servants.... Instead, I have called you friends" . Servanthood is a fine place to begin, but gradually we move toward mutual love, genuine relationships. It is a humble profound priviledge to be able to share stories, and life...this is the deepest truth of the gospel. it is reconnecting the fabric of humanity. Thanks Steve.
