Wanna serve God? Do something like my friend Jill did ten years when she began sponsoring a three-year-old boy in the Dominican Republic. Yesterday, she met that little boy-now 13. His mom and dad wept as they talked about what Jill & World Vision meant to them. Jill’s investment has been priceless.<\/h2>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/h1>\n

Consider doing something like Jill did. <\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

Do it<\/a> together with a group of friends or a Sunday school class or a small group.<\/h4>\n

Give up a luxury in order to do it<\/a>. You might realize you didn’t need the luxury after all.<\/h4>\n

But do it.<\/a><\/h4>\n

Cuz all of us need to see God once in a while… some of us more than others…<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
