Free Lunch

Now that spring has arrived my blogging aspirations have been resurrected. Hurray.

Today I went with two friends (Jason and Emily) to hand out free lunches downtown. The area we hit up was near the crossroads in KC, and at about 9th and Harrison. We only had 35 lunches to give away and they went in a hurry. The goal of "Free Lunch" is to minister to the community that is often overlooked or ignored. (ie. the poor/homeless and Hispanic community ).

In Matthew chapter 25 Jesus tells the story of the separation of the sheep form the goats. In that account Jesus tells how the king will come and say to the sheep "...For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in..." Then the sheep say, "when did we do this?"; and Jesus says, "Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers (and sisters) of mine, even the least of them, you did it to me."

So, compelled by Jesus and his gospel, my friend Jason started this ministry that happens every other week. If you'd like to know more about it, check out:
