“Keys, phone, purse …” So often before we leave home we check to make sure that we have these items. Many of us have constant thoughts about things we need to do to ensure that we have prepared adequately for the day ahead. Jesus sends us out with less, inviting us to trust, to be ready to engage with and respond to the activities and events in the world around us. ‘Jesus called the twelve and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics. He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. If any place will not welcome you and they refuse to hear you, as you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet as a testimony against them." So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.’ Mark 6 : 7 - 13. Imagine that you have been invited to join the twelve apostles: you are excited about being sent out to speak of the kingdom of God. You expect to learn the master strategy from Jesus. Instead you are told to travel light: no show, no dependence on a bank account, no big car. You are to depend on one thing only, the power and grace of God! Then amazing things can happen.
