Church Scattered is about helping to equip Christians to live out their faith at home, work and in their neighborhood. When people are in a crisis that serves as an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work in their lives to move them closer to Christ. Our role is to be the visible expression of the divine reality in these moments that can become sacred and eternal. This post by The Gospel Coalition is excellent:
“On August 17, 2017, cars packed the interstates surrounding Houston as people scrambled to evacuate. Hurricane Harvey was headed in, and millions were headed out.
The next morning, a picture went viral. It was a line of trucks pulling boats. These vehicles also crawled, bumper to bumper on the interstate, but what the internet slowly realized was that these trucks weren’t headed out—they were heading in.
Upon hearing the evacuation orders, these people ran into the storm to help.”
