Wine and Cheese at SALT artspace (NYC)
Kings College Screening (Empire State Building)
Thank you Kings College & SALT artspace for two small but amazing screenings. Now I can not only say that I visited the Empire State Building, but that huge piece of architecture was actually home to an "Adopt-A-Jesus" screening.
After spending three days in NYC and Brooklyn, it hit me at how much of an amazing family God has given me. Every day and night on this tour, I have had a place to stay, meals, and new people that I wish I would never have to leave. Its outstanding to think that this movie was once just an idea, and now its becoming some sort of movement. Not so much the movie, but the "Adopt-A-Jesus" lifestyle. People are truly beginning to realize that Jesus is TRULY hidden in the identities of these poor and broken folks we have been taught to ignore. That when we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned, care for the sick, and meet the needs of those most forsaken, that we are truly adopting Jesus into our lives, and it becomes so contagious.
Every night there have been folks crying out to God for forgiveness, because we are all guilty of passing Jesus on the streets (in one form or another). We are ALL very capable of getting to know someone. We all have the ability to start a conversation. Its that simple. The rest takes care of itself. I am just blessed. Richer then I could have ever imagined being, not because of what I have, but because of what im able to give. I pray my heart never forgets the way I feel in this moment.
