July, 23 2019
                           
“Good Morning!”, I thought to myself.   My heart was filled with wonder and joy that  morning- sustained by the Wonder of the Gospel, the sunshine and my company. 


I was walking Alyssia to school.  Sometimes we ride our bikes but that day we walked.  We take time, as we walk, and often stop to observe the colors that we see--- the blue sky, pink flowers, a bright red bird.   We also smell the air.... usually fresh from blossoming flowers and fruits.   The best is when she reaches up to hold my hand.  As a Dad that´s  wonderful!
I received a youtube video from a friend just before the walk about the benefits of ...walking.  Many were mentioned! Here are a few: Walking helps you live longer... and better.  It is good for your mental and physical health, and It can foster relationships too!
It is easy to send such a video to friends that show our concern about one’s Physical health.  The queston raised by my friend who sent the video is, “Why don’t we have the courage to send videos that talk about our Spiritual health and the Gospel?”

I had this thought.  Send the video that talks about the benefits of walking to a  non-christian friend.  Then, invite them to go for a walk with you😊.   Show them you care.  BLESS them.  It is part of the  “Go & Sow” of Discipleship.  Whether it is a one time walk or turns into a “Walk” club you will have the opportunity to let your friend know that you care about their Spiritual Health too.  Ask them,  “How do you care for you Spiritual Health?”  Pray for wisdom as you share the Gospel by sharing your story and how Jesus brings health and life to your spirit and soul.   Invite your friend to take a walk with you on the Roman Road😊 (Romans 1:16; 3:23, 6:23; 5:8; 10;9,10).   Take Time to Bless someone today!

ReachGlobal works through local partnerships focused on Disciple-making that leads to Gospel Endeavors that lead to Church Revitalization and Church-Planinting.  Below are some photos of a busy ministry season with a few of our partners in Gospel Endeavors- a few snap shot of June and July.
