- Rosaria Butterfield and her family practice “radically ordinary hospitality,” where they open their home to strangers, neighbors, church friends, and anyone in need. The Butterfields believe many Christian families are too busy or too preoccupied with acquisition and achievement to follow God’s clear command about hospitality, and as a result, we miss the opportunity to share the Gospel in tangible ways.

Rosaria also describes some of the challenges of hospitality - criticism from neighbors, conflicting worldviews around your table, and all of the time/energy/budget to pull it off. She concluded with a powerful story about her atheist mom’s deathbed conversion to Christ.
In our House Church every Friday we are singing worship song after one year there was Muslim married lady came to us with some food, she gave some food we were so surprise . My Land Lord is a Muslim He gave the house rent . this lady is unhappy in her life . She is so alone and we took the opportunity to make a friendship with that lady . She request us to open the window so that she might here the song . because she is living upper flat . we were so surprise . She is open her heart to us . we are trying to share Gospel with her . Please keep us in your prayer for our Country Bangladesh. We need Jesus for our nations.
Hospitality isn't easy for me, but love calls us to action.
I am Russian from Asia and hospitality is big part of our culture, but after moving to US I was surprised that people aren’t so excited to open their houses for someone else outside of their family))))…
what an inspiration
“Relax & step in to the conflict”
“Agents of grace”
“Somebody here is going to get hurt”
“Why?”
“Set boundaries according to the blood of Christ”
And on & on
🙌🏻👏🏻
She is so smart. I didn't get Christianity at all until she explained it. Relationships must be stronger than the words that you use. She also hold Christians to the same high standards they hold the rest of the world to....but not themselves. Yes some people have bigger crosses. Yes it is our job to help carry others crosses.
YESSS GLORY TO GOD, FINALLY THE TRUTH IS SPREADING. THANK GOD FOR YOU AND YOUR OBEDIENCE SISTER ROSARIA ME AND MY HUSBAND AND 2 KIDS ARE CURRENTLY DOING THIS GOD FEARING MINISTRY GOING ON 3 YEARS. WHEN WE HEARD YOUR TESTIMONY, WE WERE SO ENCOURAGED AND OVERALLY EXCITED TO KNOW THAT OTHER BROS AND SIS IN CHRIST ARE STEPPING OUT ON FAITH AND RECEIVING GOD'S COMMANDMENT TO LOVE OUR NEIGBORS, AND TO OPEN UP OUR HOMES TO THOSE WHO NEED FOOD, CLOTHING ECT MATT 25:36 IS A POPULAR VERSE, MANY IN THE CHURCH IGNORE. WE HAVE OPENED UP OUR HOME ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 25:36 GOING ON 3 YEARS. AND OH MY I CAN RIGHT A BOOK ON HOW GOD WORKS THROUGH HIS AGAPE LOVE TOWARDS OTHERS. WE HAVE HAD 20 PEOPLE SO FAR IN OUR HOME, AND WE ARE NOT A BUSINESS 501 3C.
WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO SEE GOD'S GLORY WORK THROUGH STREET MINISTRY.
WE HAVE A SAYING....
"BLOOD MAKES US RELATED, BUT LOYALTY IN CHRIST IS WHAT MAKES US FAMILY"!
WE KNEW GOD WAS CALLING US TO OPEN UP OUR DOORS, WHEN ME AND MY HUSBAND AND KIDS TALKED ABOUT IT, NO FEAR CAME IN OUR MINDS OR HEARTS. OTHERS HOWEVER, TRIED TO TALK US OUT OF IT, WARNING US ABOUT THE DANGERS. WE KNEW THE ADVICE WASNT GODLY OR BIBLICAL, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR ANXIETY BEHIND IT.
WE STOOD ON THE WORD OF GOD, AND HAD OUR GRAND OPENING BLOCK PARTY AND INTRODUCED OUR MISSION
THE TURN OUT WAS BEAUTIFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL, GOD SHOWED HIS SELF STRONG.
MATT 25:36 STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF HELPING OTHERS. MANY PEOPLE WE CROSS PATHS WITH, WHO HEAR ABOUT OUR MINISTDY ARE STILL SHOCKED AT WHAT WE DO, AND WE'RE OF OFTEN HEAR
"WOW GOD BLESS YOU FOR THAT SERVICE YALL DO", OR THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, BUT I COULDN'T DO THAT...ECT ECT... WE KNOW MANY WON'T DO GODS WORD BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE AND FEAR, AND THAT GAVE US EVEN MORE REASON TO START OUR MINISTRY.
MY FAMILY HAD A BEAUTIFUL PEACE ABOUT THE MINISTRY IDEA FROM THE GET GO, THE EXCITEMENT AND PEACE WAS BEYOND ANY MANS UNDERSTANDING.
NO FEAR WAS PRESENT, AND WHEN WE BEGAN OUR MINISTRY IN THE MIDDLE OF 2016.
# GOD COVERED US FROM DAY ONE.
WE HAVE HAD 3 OUT OF THE 20 WHO HAD RAISED HELL, AND HAD TO BE PUT OUT.
BUT THEY CAME AROUND!
RECENTLY ALL 3 CAME BACK THIS YR AND APOLOGIZED AND GAVE THEIR SINCERE GRATITUDE TO WHAT WE HAVE DONE, AND ARE DOING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO SERVING.
WE MUST BE OBEDIENT AND LOVE OTHERS CHRIST WAY, HE TEACHES US IN HIS WORD...AND WE MUST BE BOLD ENOUGH TO STEP OUT AND LET GOD USE US WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
GOD BLESS YOU LADY OF GOD, SO GLAD YOU ARE HELPING SPREAD THIS WORD FROM THE.MOST HIGH! WE MUST PRAY FOR MORE LABORERS, GOD WARNED THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE LABORERS TO WORK HIS HARVEST....IS INDEED FEW SADLY. GOD BLESS THE REMNANTS AROUND THE FOUR CORNERS OF THIS WORLD SERVING IN OBEDIENCE, WITH GREAT DILIGENCE. THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THE LABORERS DOING THIS PRECIOUS MINISTRY, IN JESUS HOLY NAME.
GREAT SERMON DR ROSARIA INDEED!

You are who and what you put around you.
We are definitely influenced by our company. But I'm not sure I understand your comment. Jesus ate with sinners and tax gatherers.
