They Got the Memo by Janet Gerow
We had the opportunity to visit a ministry partner. We were able to spend the majority of the day with them. It was a joy to not only hear, but see the work they are doing in this poverty stricken area. We spent time in prayer, in praise, in eating and in playing. it was warm and by the end of the day we were all somewhat tired, dirty and not so fresh. Our day wasn’t quiet.
We were able to pray over and visit a few more places. as we looked back over the day and shared our thoughts about our time with the children, one team member summed it up perfectly for me. he said, ‘they got the memo’. This may sound odd. However, these children have absolutely nothing from the world’s point of view. What they did have was joy and happiness. They knew running into the facility of the ministry partner, they would find joy and hope. We were all amazed to see the excitement of these children and to hear their laughter. ‘They got the memo’. The memo that says love is here in this place, you are safe you are loved, the memo is more than a memo. It’s a book. The book. God’s Word of love, hope and everlasting life thru Jesus.
