Dev and Don have been wonderful support to me in this journey to NZ (pictured at the Buffalo Historic Society above). I originally met them at Renovation Church in Kenmore (a plant off of Chapel at Crosspoint in W. Amherst), and they have poured into me over the months and encouraged me on my journey. This past week they invited me to share with their small group about New Zealand. They really have a great bunch of people from all walks of life. I really enjoyed sharing my vision for New Zealand with them and getting to know them a little bit.
I am continually reminded of how God transcends barriers of age, background, economics, and ethnicity; he breaks down all those walls of distinction. It reminds me of what the apostle Paul was saying to the church in Galatia when Paul wrote something along the lines of "In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ." (Galatians 3:28 MSG). As we come to faith in Christ, these difference are eliminated as we become brother and sisters in the faith. What a beautiful thing, I am so glad to be a part of that!
