Shepherding
We all remember when the lawyer in Luke chapter 10 asked Jesus to define “neighbor.” In response, Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan—showing us that our neighbor is anyone in desperate need of mercy and compassion during a terrible time in their lives.
The Highland Lakes is facing one of those times now. Over 450 individuals and families have been deeply affected by the recent floods, and we are surrounded by neighbors in need.
A shepherd plays a vital role in a survivor’s recovery—We simply need people who are willing to be present, to be a friend, and to share the love of Jesus in a time of crisis. If you feel called to be a steady presence of hope, we invite you to join us.
