I believe that this ‘hole’ is of our own making. It is we who have often embraced a shallow and diminished view of God’s bold vision. It is we who have settled for a tamer, safer view of God’s advancing kingdom and our role in it. God has always had a bigger vision than ours. No doubt that this book will provoke - and maybe even anger some, but I also hope it will inspire and lift our sights to the power of the possible. –Richard Stearns, President of World Vision

Day 7: Ponder: "The Hole in My Thinking"



Personal:
Have you found this bible study helpful, uncomfortable, challenging, exciting, frustrating or something else? Share what you're feeling, and try to explain why you think you feel the way you do? Have any of the needs you have read about in the past few days captured your heart? Has God spoken to you through this at all?

Action:
1. What are the holes you have discovered in your assumptions about the poor? List at least three.

2. Where do you feel God is calling you to put your "head, heart, hands, and feet" to use in the world? Where does your passion lie, and for whom (the poor, hungry, emotionally traumatized, etc...)? What ways has God gifted you to help others?

Check out the "Browse Programs" link under Quest Sites to learn about more ways you can use your "head, heart, hands, and feet" serving others.
