A "LANGUAGE" Barrier


I, (Kyle) am currently in Chicago on our "Embrace" mission trip with several Jr. High students.  We are staying in a neighborhood in the northern part of Chicago called Albany Park.  It is the most diverse area in Chicago with 1 in 2 residents being born outside of the United States.   As you drive around, you are constantly seeing stores and restaurants with a language you don't understand.  There is an immediate barrier, simply because you don't understand the language.

As we continue the series, "losing my religion," we are hoping that some barriers are being broken down for you and your thoughts/relationship with Jesus.  So, ask yourself if there is something that has kept you from passionately pursuing the ways of Jesus?  Or do you speak to others in a way that puts up barriers for them and their relationship with him?  Is there some barrier between you and the truth?

I pray that you will begin to seek who Jesus really is and what he is really about.  That you will break through any barriers there are and find Him.
