My husband Jeff and I, and our daughters Faith and Izzy, are so blessed to be part of such amazing community. The community we live in, the community in our home, and the community in our church is such a blessing and a constant reminder of God's grace and goodness.
About four years ago Jeff and I felt led to share our home and to keep our doors constantly open by having our home be a community itself, hosting various bible studies and discipleship meetings, as well as a worship service held each Friday night. Almost two years ago Jeff was called into full time ministry to work at House to House, a ministry that shares the gospel and rebuilds dilapidated housing in an impoverished neighborhood. Shortly after, I began working there part time as their discipleship coordinator. Last year we moved into that community.
These events, along with joining a wonderful church in the community, have let us experience some radically fulfilling love and community much like the love and community I read about in the bible. Our pastors, friends and neighbors constantly model what it means to need each other, serve each other and love each other. I am very thankful; we know some amazing people.
