This last week while in Minneapolis, I have been attending a few prayer meetings in the Twin Cities, spending time with family, fixing my car situation (and creating a whole bunch of new problems), and basically doing nothing...before things get busy at Onething Conference.
Recently, there was a massive fire in a large apartment building (Burncliff Apartments) 64 family units lost everything they owned. The fire was a spectacle that filled the evening news and caused others on a nearby highway to stop and gawk. Most of the victims were left speechless in their loss to even comment on TV.
A relief fund was set up for victims and the same news that was announcing the devastation of the fire announced that an anonymous donor gave $1 million to the victims of this disaster. The same victims were still speechless as their tears of loss were turned to tears of gratitude and joy.
We don't know who the donor was, but what type of witness for Jesus would we as the Church be if we were known for generosity like this both locally and around the world?
