What Do You Have?

We're not all pilots with an airplane at our disposal, but the people that started Agape Flights are. They saw a need, they had the ability to meet the need, they prayed about it, and they began meeting the need. Their website states that "They help bridge the gap between the perception and the reality of things needed for missionaries to accomplish their calling to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and help the people around them". (see www.agapeflights.com).

The local news in Florida and even some networks have picked up the story of Agape Flights because they are flying critical supplies into Haiti, and are even flying orphaned children out of Haiti to their adoptive parents in the US.

This is an example of an organization--of people using their skills and resources--to shine their light for Christ in a very dark time. We're not all going to start up mission agencies or fly around the world, but we each have been given skills, knowledge, tools, resources, and time to use for the demonstration of the Kingdom and the proclamation of Christ.

The question is: What do you have?

Let's consider the example of the Apostle Paul, who, while in prison, wrote that his hope was for "sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in [his] body" (Philippians 1:20 NIV).

Do we have the courage to demonstrate Christ with what we have been given?
