When we hear the word serve, we immediately start thinking about all the things we should be doing, the places we should be volunteering and donating our clothes, serving meals, and being the hands and feet of Jesus. But what if serving starts with paying attention to the people God has already placed around us? What if we start by asking where there’s a need and how God might want to use us to meet it?
Today, I get to talk with Heather Rice-Minus, who is the President and CEO of Prison Fellowship, an organization that works to restore those affected by crime and incarceration through the Gospel. Heather is going to help us think about what it looks like to serve people in our own communities, especially people we might not naturally think about or even know how to reach.&nbsp;
I think this conversation is going to help us see our cities a little differently and maybe even recognize an opportunity to serve that we’ve been walking past. I’ve gotten to serve in prison ministry the last couple of years and it has truly changed my life.
