If you’ve never had to make the real, hard choice between paying your electric bill or buying food for your family, then you may have a hard time understanding those for whom this is a daily reality.
At Eastview, we want to continue to grow in our ability to love people right where they are. If people don’t feel like you understand them, it will be difficult for them to listen to you share about Jesus during Imagine, in the food pantry, at GEMS, in Benevolence, at Jesus House, and in our Community.
After meeting with the faciliator for this event, I'm even more excited about this opportunity. You will be given a role within a family, and your family has to figure out how to survive over a 4 week period with the types of scenarios that actually happen to people in our community. You will be amazed at the choices you'll have to make--and have a better understanding of why others choose as they do.
As Pastor of Local Compassion Outreach, I am strongly encouraging anyone who cares about those in our community who are struggling to come to this free simulation and grow in compassion,
