(8) GRATEFUL INCONVENIENCE
Grateful Inconvenience is a reminder from NATE GRIFFIN, owner/founder that giving of ourselves is not always CONVENIEN.Very seldom do any of us come across an opportunity to reach out to another person in need that it does not in some way interfere with the schedule for our lives. More often than not ministry costs us something. It is only when we choose to participate in the opportunities that come our way each day that there is a renewed sense of gratefulness in our own hearts for what Christ has done for us. This is what Grateful INCONVENIENCE is all about.The INCONVENIENCE of it all. Taking OUR time and giving it without wanting any of it back!
We will keep you posted when they hit the streets! Let us know what YOU want to see next from MXTV.
