We all need people in our life to lead us: to show us the way and remind us not to stray. The Home Guards are such a group in Los Angeles. As the shepherds-in-training for the City of Angels International Christian Church, these are men who are setting their hearts on learning how to help the whole church walk with Jesus through the example of hard work, genuine concern for the well-being of others, faith, patience, and integrity.
That's a high calling, and only possible by the literal grace of God. The Evangelist Blaise Feumba did a fantastic job of breaking down the basics of shepherding during this morning's lesson along the side of Lake Balboa in sunny SoCal. He preached and taught carefully about what it means to be an effective shepherd in God's church, and why it is so needed; because we all need rescuing and nurturing.
I am very grateful to be a part of this group of firm, yet gentle fighters for the Lord.
Home Guards now: Paradise later!
