Inspiration
Jesus told a story of a wedding. The wedding had been planned and the guests had been invited but when the day came the guest weren't showing. The call was sent out for guests to join in the celebration and a new set of guests arrived. They had been brought in from the streets simply because the King wanted them to share in his joy. It is a very cool story. Yesterday I was sent a news release of this story happening in real life in Lexington, Kentucky. Tanya Ferguson and Christian Torp are getting married. They are followers of Jesus and decided to move into one of the poorest sections of the city. Christian is an attorney who offers low-cost to free legal counsel. Tanya serves the children of the neighborhood by providing food and programming she has created herself. They live in the William Wells Brown neighborhood. Their wedding and reception will be held at Duncan Park and they are inviting the whole neighborhood to attend. They want to treat everyone to a great meal and instead of the guests bringing gifts the bride and groom want to give away canned goods and joy. They are renting inflatables and carnival games for the kids of the neighborhood. How cool is that?!! Tanya said, "We want to fill their hungry bellies and provide their hearts with love." I don't know when I have heard a better story. Ok, here is where we can participate. The couple is accepting donations of food and clothes and canned goods. If you want to give money then know your money will be used to provide these "party favors" for the wedding. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 861, Lexington, Kentucky 40588. Let the party begin.
