To See by Ken (Wonder Voyage Director)
Our energetic team from Fellowship Bible Church arrived today from Dallas eager to discover New Orleans and make their contribution of service in a city still working to recover from the disaster of hurricane Katrina. After a long drive we welcomed them to their home in the historic neighborhood of Algiers. We shared a meal of Jambalaya and had a time of welcome and orientation around the activates that await them this week.
As we talked and prayed together we read the story of the blind beggar who Jesus asked, what do you want me to do for you? The Beggar answered, I want to see. We asked the same question of each pilgrim from Dallas, what would you say to Jesus if he met you on the road here in New Orleans and asked you the same question. What would you want Jesus to do for you? The posture of our heart on a pilgrimage or in life in general will carry a load of perspective. Having God’s perspective is of the utmost importance. Do we in general expect Jesus to answer our request of him? Can we answer His question? In turn can we this week help Jesus by becoming the answer to the question on the lips of many fellow beggars here in New Orleans. We shall see.
