A Missional Summer

"It was awesome to have Sr. Oresoa, the founder of Anawim Home, paint such a clear picture of the relational aspect of Nativity's mission work. Anawim Home gets a number of visitors throughout the year, but Sr. Oreosa, at a board meeting we attended, pointed out the dedication Nativity:Nigeria has to "eat, sleep, and live among the poorest of the poor." This is what it's all about, loving our neighbors! Sure, we are also committed to supporting their efforts to carry out God's work among the poor, but the reason for the trip is to walk in their shoes for two weeks."

Above is an excerpt of a blog post from Anawim Team Member and Church of the Nativity Director of Missions, Brian Crook. Over the next few days and weeks, Brian will be sharing his thoughts on Church of the Nativity's work in Nigeria and Haiti this summer on his blog. We encourage you to check it out for some great stories and insights from this ministry. You can always find the link to this blog on the left side under "Partners."
