INVITE THE UNINVITED!

Mac Crum, pastor of Hope Community, and other church leaders were interviewed in the Montgomery Advertiser because they have a heart for reaching hurting people, particularly the prostitutes in Montgomery.
Jesus said: " The next time you put on a dinner, don't just invite your friends and family and rich neighbors, the kind of people who will return the favor. Invite some people who never get invited out, the misfits from the wrong side of the tracks. You'll be-and experience-a blessing. They wont be able to return the favor, but the favor will be returned-oh, how it will be returned!-at the resurrection of God's people Luke 14:14
