Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly.
This is our calling. This is our passion. This is our joy. 
We are InnerCHANGE,  a Christian order among the poor. We are communities of missionaries living in marginalized neighborhoods around the world – places most people want to avoid or ignore. We seek to live out the good news of Jesus among the poor, both with words and deeds. 
We neither glamorize our calling nor diminish its importance. We are moved by the life and love of Jesus, enticed by his goodness.  We have sensed his call to take up our crosses and follow: knowing that as we lose our life for his sake, we will truly find it. Despite the enormity of the missionary task, we do not pursue this work with long faces. Rather, we rejoice in our opportunity to be messengers of the King as he invites all people - poor and rich alike - to his banquet table.

First it was Ninga - one hour and one day early for easter egg painting. It was in the middle of Tuesday morning prayer and it was raining. Poor Grace had to tell him to come back tomorrow. She felt bad, but it was the right thing. We were meeting.

Walking the Grove
Walking with my neighbors on their life journey is my greatest joy and privilege.  It is also my greatest pain and sorrow.  In joining them on their journey, theirs becomes mine and mine theirs.  Somewhere along the way we go from being neighbors, to friends, to family. 
It caused great pain to watch our neighbors put in jail, taking both mother and father from four beautiful boys.  But it is with great joy that we celebrated the miracle of our sister’s release from jail, now filled with Light and Life that she is pouring into those same boys.
