For those struggling financially …
Money means power. Most of us don’t truly understand that (I’m guessing) until we have no money. When God gives us a tour of how the powerless experience life, note well what that experience is like. When power (money) is restored to us, we will be, I think, much more wise in how use the power (money) God has given us.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. — John 1:14
The way of love is to enter the world of the person you wish to love.
In the summer of 2002 I interviewed Tamara White who has a ministry to gangs, street people and “throw-aways” in Denver, Colorado. I have enormous respect for Tamara, because, at great risk to herself, she goes where the people are, where the need is, and there she makes her dwelling. She has been stalked. She has been shot at with Uzi submachine guns. Tamara has done things that, frankly, I would be scared to do. She has lived in places I wouldn’t want my daughters to even visit. But she cares, so she goes, and she makes a difference.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. What a risk taker God is! How courageous He is to humble Himself. To become one of us. To get lost in the mass of insignificant humanity. To mingle with us on our own turf.
God pioneered the way of love. He entered the world of the ones He wanted to love. Now we know that we matter to Him.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
