First Day of Micah Corps--Biblical Social Justice w/ Rev. Secundino Morales

On the first day of Micah Corps the Rev. Secundino Morales came and spoke about social justice from a biblical perspective. Rev. Morales serves as the District Superintendent for the Gateway District, but is also a member of the Risk Taking Mission and Justice Ministries Team. The Rev. Morales touched on his childhood in Panama, where his family emphasized personal salvation, however, Rev. Morales’ words concerning uplifting the poor and healing the oppressed in this world demonstrate an imperative for not only personal salvation, but also justice for the “least of these.” In the video Rev. Morales describes the need to create a better world, a better society, a better community, but also the need to experience new cultures, and to continually practice open hearts, open minds, and open doors in acquiring a new global perspective that welcomes all strangers in creating a world more similar to God’s vision (most notably described in Isaiah 65:17-25). Stay tuned as these interns continue to live and learn about Jesus’ message in the coming days!
