Kira, stepped out of her comfort zone when we took the OutBounders to downtown Atlanta for ministry in Centennial Park. The park is full of people and the OutBounders were sent out in small groups to talk, share the gospel and pray with people they met.
Kira admitted that she was “not so excited” about this—she is much more comfortable serving the Lord behind her desk using her admin gifts and abilities to enable others to go out and “evangelize”. The Lord had other plans J
As her team set out, Kira decided to keep a low profile and let the other girls do all the talking. The first two ladies they met only spoke Spanish and guess what? Kira was the only Spanish speaking person on the team ! She started talking with the ladies, who had not been in the US long and were struggling at their jobs. Kira was able to encourage and pray for them and their situation. The ladies were surprised by the kindness which the girls extended to them.
Many of the OutBounders had similar experiences and were encouraged and challenged to step out of their comfort zones more often to touch others around them.
