bring me what you have. you give them something to eat


There’s just too much need – I don’t have enough to offer.  

Jesus says, “bring me what you have.”  

Self-centered assumptions and presumptions are interrupted.  

We’re shown God’s way and sent out to do what seems impractical if not impossible.  Hungers and needs are addressed with whatever has been offered in faith and shared in love. 

Amid our thanksgivings and blessings, the Spirit tirelessly encourages ever more generous giving and sharing,... 

revealing ever broader abundance in God’s grace so more and more of God’s family can ‘get it’ and radically communal nourishment becomes the norm in the new kingdom.
