Compassion, Justice and the Christian Life
To the right is an image of a book titled Compassion, Justice and the Christian Life. Rob, the director of CrossRoads Missions, distributed copies of this book to all of our staff as part of our implementing our Inner-City Ministry field beginning in 2008.
Phyllis and I have both finished reading through this book and want to recommend that you get a copy of it to read through. It is available at your local Christian bookstore or online at a discount price through CBD (here). The author has challenged us to re-consider a lot of our thinking as it relates to how we live our Christian life — especially in a materialistic culture. He has some profound examples of how we should respond to the world around us, especially “to the least of these”

Ministry Web Site Update
At the end of January Jim implemented a new web site design and presence for the Fern Creek Highview United Ministries (FCHUM). FCHUM is a not-for-profit social service agency founded in 1988 by 10 local churches in the Louisville, Kentucky area. A group of representatives from 10 different churches met and made a commitment to move beyond their denominational ties to work together to meet the needs of the community. FCHUM is currently supported by 20 churches representing 12 different denominations working together, making many significant contributions within the community on a daily basis. You can visit their new web site by following this link.
