Excellent job @anxious_maria. Many lessons to be learned from #Uvalde, including the importance of having an emergency plan, knowing & practicing training protocols -- by responders and by organizations (eg schools)... #bettertogether.

@jd_payne Loved it.

#TheChurch could learn a lot from 1st-responders, re mission that’s urgent & important.

#missiology

P.S... Fire-fighters don’t invite residents to the firehouse to pick up water.

The Good Samaritan exemplified neighborly love, fulfilling the second part of Jesus' greatest commandment, by transporting someone in need to get help

"If SB 1718 passes into law unamended, such transportation would be a felony in Florida…" https://t.co/6TTTs0mNMH

#VOST thinkers...

What solutions might become obvious at the national level, to assist/support @cityreaching networks as they attempt to help the #immigration community near their churches?

Zoom hours for the various language groups?

[IndyChristian.TV @ictv]

Great interview of two Haitian pastors in Indianapolis, in the @FHLCommunityInc network of Missional Food Pantries.

Insights for all of us re the myriad of issues/solutions among the #immigration community.

#TheChurch can act to bless our neighbors.
