During the pandemic, many ministries in New York City instituted “grab and go” programs – giving people food or other needed things outside so people could safely receive help and then move on. Josh Johnson with a team at Graffiti 2 instituted something else: a “stop and care” ministry. They would buy food or coffee for someone and for themselves and then eat with them outside.
Across the globe, millions of people have been given a “hard reset” for the normal course of their lives. With some insight and some planning, the tough parts of this isolation and slowdown can truly “work together for good” (Romans 8:28). It’s time to come out of this “Upside-down,” and better than we went in.
Giving courage to Christian believers who want to Meet the Need First.
