Bali has a bunch of people coming and going. It's a land of individuals far from their homes. Well, as far as non-Indonesians go. Some people run away to Bali for the waves or to live any type of life they feel like constructing. So what happens when the world caves in on them? When something terrible happens and they find themselves far away from support lines?
Global Church has the privilege of reaching out to people like this. One man recently broke his neck in a motorbike accident and now we are faced with a friend preparing for heart surgery. These men have no one and not much to give back, but it without a doubt we are to serve them. What does this look like? I was told to look at hospitality as stopping my routine to care for someone else. It doesn't matter what time of the night it is or how far away they live, we're too seek them out. To simply drop by and ask how they're doing could make a world of difference. Taking groceries over or just watching a movie together. These acts of service begin the dialogue that leads to Christ.
So in 30 minutes we leave from here, McDonalds, and will ride out to meet those who have no one to turn to. I encourage you to round up your Christian brothers and sisters and go to those who can't move. Help those who have yet to acknowledge their needs. Preach with your actions and with your words.
