Stunned by Grace

Recently Joe Knittig and I had an important meeting with a valued partner. Our project with them experienced difficulties at the field level. Taking responsibility and trusting God to move, Joe explained that despite the challenges, we would not walk away from the home in question. As he said that, a lady’s eyes filled with tears.

I’m so relieved to hear you say that, she started. Ever since I learned of these problems, I wondered if you were going to pull away, and if you did, what would happen to our kids.

Joe and I were stunned. This group had done nothing wrong. The kids certainly had done nothing wrong. Yet, this Champion’s concern was for the kids if we quit.

We will not quit. In fact, we are deeply committed to getting better for the kids and for you, our partners. What a privilege to serve with you! Thank you for never quitting on God’s kids!
