I was pondering what living missional lives would be like after chatting with a friend of mine who lives in a hospitality house provided by her church, with other people in the community, where they have an open door policy to the homeless and poor in the neighbourhood.
Lately I have been convicted about the fact that majority of the western church has lost touch with people who didn't know about Jesus. We need to repent and start loving people who are very different from us. I wonder if living missional lives and intentionally befriending people would be the key. The idea is not to befriend somebody just to 'attract' them into going to my church, but to love people just because they exist and that they are made in the image of God. I like the idea of loving people just to love them.
I identify myself with peregrine (a person tending to travel; they are nomadic, mobile, wandering and roving), and sojo (sojourner), one who is a temporary resident in a place. Here I share the journey of my inner and outer life, with a focus on my ethos "be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

How sensitive of you to want to reach out to different sorts of people. I like working in a psychiatric hospital, because the people are out of the ordinary. How neat to seek God's will for how He would have you serve and start by praying and waiting for His next move.
Dear Andrey, I admire you. Your love to patients with mental illness who are out of the ordinary is so touching.
