“Called to the Peripheries”

Dedicated to those living in the “margins of society”, “where the need resides”, “in the peripheries”, “the most vulnerable”, and “to those who have lost all hope.”  

Where the Bentleys,

The Benzes,

The million dollar mansions

Are starving for God

In their abundance of riches;

The poorest of the poor.

Yet how come all the focus 

Is on the resource poor?  

I guess it’s easier

To drive a van full of

Missionaries to a place

Under a bridge than

To bust into a gated

Community of million dollar

Homes where the

Real poverty is to be found.
