What is happening in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East is real.
There are so many aspects and nuances and facets to this crisis, but more than ever I am convinced that we have an opportunity to act and make a difference.
I don't know how. I don't have the answers.
But I know the name and love of Jesus is a powerful changing force.
It's time to see the church awakened and mobilized to meet the needs, show love, and give hope to a world that is more broken and dying than ever.
If you are in search of images to accompany what you are hearing in the news I would suggest following Ciril Jazbec on Instagram (@ciriljazbec). He's a National Geographic photographer following the crisis. The image accompanying this post is his, and I think he's doing a wonderful job capturing the bredth and depth of the issue. Here's the link to his Instagram page.
