Most likely, a house [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But what happened after that reminded me of the parable in Luke about the Good Samaritan.  A complete stranger, very likely from Britain, reached over and took my hand and asked if I was okay and if I needed any help.  He gave me a Kleenex to wipe my tears as I cried over the pain caused by the impact of that 30 pound suitcase.  And throughout my whole flight he was there taking care of me.  At that moment I was living the last line from A Streetcar Named Desire, as I was depending on the kindness of that stranger.  On that day – a British man helped an American woman.  Two strangers who were brought together by an act of kindness. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amor has the privilege of partnering with the UK based organization Urban Saints – which has been reaching out to children and young people since 1906 with the good news of Jesus Christ.  I have personally had the opportunity to see this firsthand in my visits to the UK over the past few summers.  They have about 30,000 youth throughout the UK involved in their clubs and have a goal of reaching a million youth with the gospel over the next 10 years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you that are reading this eNews have been the Philippian church to us.  You have felt our pain as we have faced the challenges of fears of going to Mexico, the economy and whatever plague might come our way.  What I know for sure is that just like Paul in prison knowing his friends in Philippi were praying for him, we know you have been praying for us.

And still, you continue to ask what you can do to support Amor!  So I’m taking this eNews to give you some ways that you can help Amor during this time as we seek to serve him together.  Because together we are better!]]></description>

We need to be better than this so that God’s desire in housing the poor throughout the world can continue to go forward or – shame on us!]]></description>
