This is the season in which we find the importance of ministry outside the walls of the church. When we look at the challenges of the poor, the disenfranchised and those at the margin, we need to lift up their urgent needs, and we need to be ever present in their lives and the challenges of their lives. That makes us prophetic if we do those things. We have to step away from the pages of the gospel and understand that the gospel is a living word and that our efforts must be a living effort.
