I'm going to be mysterious because I have to honor confidentiality. If you knew that a member of this community was facing life or death choices, alone, what do you think Jesus would want you to do? Help right? At least extend some kind of tangible benefit - that's how I read the epistle of James.
From the start, this need is bigger than any one person here. If you were the one who knew what was required to fix this, you'd throw up your hands and say "I can't." And you'd be right. Each one of us would likely have to respond in the same way. While I'm being mysterious, let me get a few facts out.
1) This member has not EVER asked for help other than prayers.
2) This member is lacking the necessities for life.
3) There are no social programs where the member lives.
I'd be happy to give more details person by person and/or answer questions. (Including how to give if God leads you to) If you send me a friend request so inbox messages work, I'll be checking my community updates frequently. Basically if a few people give a dollar (and that's all I am asking about.. ONE dollar).. we can as a community say something profound about meeting needs in this gathering of believers.
Before the debate unleashes..., because it will.,.. let's pray about it.
Father God, I'm scared. I know perfect love casts out fear.. so that's why I dared to write this in the first place. I'm trusting that You are there to touch the fears of my brothers and sisters who are tired of being taken advantage of-- deceived out of their hard won earnings. Please send Your Spirit ahead of this message to confirm to the right people that this is not a human activity at heart. I cannot touch hearts, I can only touch minds. Only You can touch the heart. I ask this in Jesus' Name for the sake of the Love I have for this person... Amen.
