No needs
I lead a small church group of friends, and we're challenging ourselves to be ever-more outward looking in our lives. To this end, we're setting up a smaller group to minister more closely to the residents in our bread distribution exercise, another group to reach young working adults, and yet another group for more middle-aged executives. Each group will be led by one or two of us, and the idea is to fulfil the potential that God has put in each of us to help others live well. The group that has come together most naturally is the one to help the rental block residents. We've been working the block for many years now, so the residents know us well. And the fact is, they have a lot of needs. Certainly material needs, but really also emotional and spiritual needs. Loneliness, worry over children, age and health, the next paycheck - these are really real needs. The group that is probably going to come together next most easily is the young working adults group
