Coming to Social Justice with Galen Wray!!

The Micah Corps has had the chance to meet and connect with so many churches throughout Nebraska. Our travels have introduced us to hundreds of people who have their own stories about coming to social justice. These stories motivate and inspire us, they give us the hope that through our togetherness and combined faith in God’s wishes for our welfare on earth, we can begin to give justice to everyone who is oppressed. Because of this we wanted to take the time to interview a man with a particularly great story of coming to an awareness of social justice, and indeed, beginning his own work on freeing the oppressed. Galen Wray serves as District Superintendent for the Blue River District. Through his story I invite you to think and discuss your own journey toward social holiness. Moreover, how can we inspire others to become more justice minded? But most importantly, how can we use our journeys, faith, and resources to bring this good news to the oppressed. Indeed, in Luke 4, Jesus states, “The Spirit of the Good Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, he has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” How do we follow Jesus’ message? Proclaim your faith! Talk about your journey to social justice and spread that to all who wish to hear the good news! In doing so we inspire others to a real conversation about beginning the tough, but necessary, work of setting at liberty those who are oppressed. Thanks and God bless!
