Nathan Smith of Phoenix Rescue Mission talks about how God moves through him. He says, “My wife and I started reading the gospel in a different way. There was a lot of message about good news to the poor that for some reason I had ignored.” He continues, “All those experiences together led my wife and I on a Saturday to go to the worst parts of town to hand out sack lunches and get to know people. Eventually, I brought my entire church along we went out every Saturday for a while, and broke bread, created relationship with people living on the streets; got to know them, got to serve them; really tried to break those walls down and have a kingdom meal every week. Eventually I realized that what I wanted to spend all my time doing.” Nathan asks, “What is my lasting impact?”

How can God use us in this country?
Host Bob Moffitt interviews Gabriela and Jose Castaneda who moved to Phoenix from Guatemala 19 years ago. When they arrived, they were interested in a church that did more than just praying and reading the Bible; they started a church with 7 people who began loving and serving their neighbors in need: food for the homeless, beds for those in need, diapers, and bringing a toy to one of their Muslim neighbors.
