The Swenson Family humbles me. They packed up 8 years ago and headed to the bush country of PNG. Years have now been spent learning a new language and culture. They give hours to nothing but reaching OUT. Their home is built in the jungle to reach OUT. Their daily rhythm is spent investing in OUT. The Spirit said go and they have gone. Now, a thriving church exists where before there was paganism and darkness. We have the privilege of supporting them but also sitting under their challenge. How good is our OUT? How are we using everything to help outsiders encounter the Better News of King Jesus?

Kingdom Space: Jesus Reached Out

Luke 6:17–19 (ESV)
17 And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. 19 And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.

Use the Swensons visit to poke us a little.
