Micah 6:8 (NIV) He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Ask two or three people on ServeUP: •What would it take for you personally to give yourself to the challenge of changing this neighborhood? •What would keep you from doing it? •What kind of help (i.e., spiritual, physical, personal, resources) might it take to be able to work and make a difference here? Ask one person from the neighborhood: •Why haven’t the problems of this neighborhood been dealt with?  Why isn’t there (even) more change?

Theme of the Day: Identifying with others Challenge for the Day Go with someone else (or a group) and find two to three people in the neighborhood (it may be the same people you talked to yesterday) and ask: •What are three of the biggest challenges to life in this neighborhood? •What would need to change in order to address these challenges? After the interviews, discuss what you’ve heard with your partner or group: •What is your reaction? •What would you be willing to do in order to help bring these changes? •What would you not be willing to do and why? #serveup16

Record your impressions (words, phrases, sketches) in a notebook or on your phone as we drive through different parts of the city on our tour of New Orleans today. Feel free to ask a local resident his or her story. What do you notice? What contrasts do you see? What are the signs of prosperity? What are the signs of poverty? What are your gut reactions as you look out the windows of the bus? As you walk through the neighborhoods we go through? What questions come to mind?
