“Why does Jesus tell the apostles to “travel light” with little or no provision? “Poverty of spirit” frees us from greed and preoccupation with possessions and makes ample room for God’s provision. The Lord wants his disciples to be dependent on him and not on themselves. He wills to work through and in each of us for his glory. Are you ready to handle the power and authority which God wishes you to exercise on his behalf? The Lord entrusts us with his gifts and talents. Are you eager to place yourself at his service, to do whatever he bids you, and to witness his truth and saving power to whomever he sends you? ”

I’ve heard it said in the past that if you have a phone book then you have a ministry…I guess these days we could say ‘if you have a facebook account then you have a ministry’. How do we minister to our family and friends? I believe the Lord speaks to each of us and shows us exactly what and how to do it. One way the Lord is showing me, is to just be open and transparent and willing to share all that God does in my own life. He has put us here for each other, so that together we can glorify Him. That IS the purpose of life afterall.
