It inspires me to find people who do wonderful things in the midst of very difficult circumstances. I think that is why I enjoy the movie Blindside. In spite of overwhelming odds, one family made a difference in the life of one young man.
In 2005, three women discovered they shared a desire to reach out to women who work in some of the darkest places here in Lexington. Bruised Reed is a ministry that is part of a Southland Church here in Lexington. In their volunteer training manual, they ask and answer the "big" questions regarding God, sin, forgiveness, motivation, heaven, and hell. It is a unique ministry, that serves a special population. Each of us has the capacity by God's grace to make a difference in the life of an individual. Who inspires you? Who in your community is bringing people out of darkness in your community?
After attending the training,...I was sad and overwhelmed...but glad these brave woman acted on a vision.
Want to know more about the ministry or church? If you have a minute, you might find their blog interesting.
