Setup in front the Warrior Cafe, they waited for young men and women, wounded in a variety of ways to come by. After a greeting, listening to some of the stories from the warrior, and a short description of who we were, those with the Royal Home were able to speak all about and how the diapers were raised. The look in the men&#8217;s and women\u2019s eyes as they heard of the motorcycle ride from coast to coast in less than 50 hours, stopping every 150 miles or so to collect donated diapers, baby wipes and money was worth every effort it took to position ourselves for this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-811\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Position in Christ, it&#8217;s interesting how this truth is taught, what you can get due to your &#8220;position&#8221; in Christ. Mission M25 is dedicated to &#8220;position in Christ&#8221; as a way to sit with broken people, outside the four walls of the church. To be \u201cEmmanuel\u201d (God with Us) to a broken world. As our example, Jesus did this over 2,000 years ago. Therefore, using diapers and baby wipes as the doorway, the two ministries setup tables in the hallway and shared an inviting smile and greeting to &#8220;position&#8221; Jesus, the ministry of Hope.<\/p>\n<p>Real heroes, walking with a cane, on an artificial leg, riding in a wheel chair or looking through their emotionally distant eyes, wounded warriors were blessed by the effort. To keep this wound before us, the M25 Freedom bike has written on the windshield a truth few seem to comprehend, &#8220;All Scars Are Not Visible.&#8221; Seeing a smile, sharing a Run For The Wall pin and a bag of diapers and wipes, bringing a few minutes of love, was one of the most rewarding things we could have done on this week leading up to Veteran\u2019s Day.<a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-812\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you walk in the \u201cWarrior Cafe\u201d the \u201cMissing Man Table\u201d was positioned in front of the entry.

It reminded all to \u201cNever Forget\u201d those who are no longer with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we concluded our stay and sat round the lunch table, the hearts of the two ministries and the hearts of warriors began to bond ever so much greater.

Enfrente del Warrior Cafe, esperaron hombres y mujeres j\u00f3venes, heridos en una variedad de formas para pasar. Despu\u00e9s de un saludo, escuchando algunas de las historias del guerrero, y una breve descripci\u00f3n de qui\u00e9nes \u00e9ramos, aquellos con el Hogar Real pudieron hablar de todo y c\u00f3mo se levantaron los pa\u00f1ales. La mirada en los ojos de hombres y mujeres cuando oyeron hablar del viaje en motocicleta de costa a costa en menos de 50 horas, deteni\u00e9ndose cada 150 millas para recolectar pa\u00f1ales donados, toallitas h\u00famedas para beb\u00e9s y dinero, vali\u00f3 todos los esfuerzos necesarios para posicionarnos esta oportunidad. <a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-811\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0558-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a> Posici\u00f3n en Cristo, es interesante c\u00f3mo se ense\u00f1a esta verdad, qu\u00e9 se puede obtener debido a su \"posici\u00f3n\" en Cristo. La Misi\u00f3n M25 est\u00e1 dedicada a la \"posici\u00f3n en Cristo\" como una forma de sentarse con las personas quebrantadas, fuera de las cuatro paredes de la iglesia. Para ser \"Emmanuel\" (Dios con nosotros) a un mundo roto. Como nuestro ejemplo, Jes\u00fas hizo esto hace m\u00e1s de 2,000 a\u00f1os. Por lo tanto, usando pa\u00f1ales y toallitas para beb\u00e9s como puerta de entrada, los dos ministerios prepararon mesas en el pasillo y compartieron una sonrisa y un saludo de invitaci\u00f3n para \"posicionar\" a Jes\u00fas, el ministerio de la Esperanza. H\u00e9roes reales, caminando con un bast\u00f3n, en una pierna artificial, montados en una silla de ruedas o mirando a trav\u00e9s de sus ojos emocionalmente distantes, los guerreros heridos fueron bendecidos por el esfuerzo. Para mantener esta herida ante nosotros, la bicicleta M25 Freedom ha escrito en el parabrisas una verdad que pocos parecen comprender: \"Todas las cicatrices no son visibles\". Ver una sonrisa, compartir un alfiler de Run For The Wall y una bolsa de pa\u00f1ales y toallitas, trayendo unos minutos de amor, fue una de las cosas m\u00e1s gratificantes que podr\u00edamos haber hecho en esta semana antes del D\u00eda de los Veteranos. <a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-812\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0555-e1511199280687-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> Mientras caminas en el \"Caf\u00e9 Guerrero\", la \"Mesa del Hombre Desaparecido\" se coloc\u00f3 frente a la entrada. Un recordatorio visible de aquellos que nunca llegar\u00edan a casa y volver\u00edan a unirse con sus familias, nunca abrazar\u00edan a su beb\u00e9 o tal vez nunca tendr\u00edan un beb\u00e9 propio. Le record\u00f3 a todos \"Nunca olvides\" a aquellos que ya no est\u00e1n con nosotros. Cuando concluimos nuestra estancia y nos sentamos alrededor de la mesa del almuerzo, los corazones de los dos ministerios y los corazones de los guerreros comenzaron a vincularse cada vez m\u00e1s. Los testimonios y los deseos de ayudar a las personas perjudicadas, las personas quebrantadas, las personas que probablemente nunca llegar\u00e1n a la iglesia, aumentaron nuestro deseo de \"posicionar\" a Jes\u00fas en el mundo. <a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0557-e1511199327930.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-813\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/IMG_0557-e1511199327930-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> SFC Martinez lo dijo bien, \"a veces simplemente limpiamos el desastre que hace el diablo en la vida de las personas\".","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/Diapers-To-Warriors.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbhxDC-d3","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/evangelism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
