Being The Hands And Feet Of Christ: An Interview With Rosemary Van Gelderen

Join me today as I talk with Rosemary Van Gelderen author of the newsletter, Fed by Ravens on Substack. Rosemary is a wife, mother of seven children, a grandmother and most of all a follower of Christ. She writes about her experiences on the streets, serving those struggling with addiction, homelessness and families that have been torn apart. Rosemary has been healed as she looks into the faces of the people that she meets and see’s Jesus looking back at her. With the deeply rooted love of God, she has been able to love these wandering souls and continues to show up for her family through the darkness, moving closer to the light. This is a battle that can only be won by dwelling in the valley with Jesus by your side. I discovered Rosemary’s writing when her daughter, Misha, was one of those children living on the street, poison running through her veins and desperate for a Savior. When Misha got pregnant, she came home for the last time and against all odds recently gave birth to a precious and healthy baby boy. Misha’s little warrior’s name is, Oscar, meaning “spear of God”. Listen to the podcast for a preview of Rosmary’s upcoming book! She is currently writing on abuse in the church and share’s a preview of that with us today. Scripture Referenced Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Psalm 127:4 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, Ephesians 3:20 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity. Job 36:15 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. Hebrews 12:6 Let the Redeemed Say So Psalm 107 We sincerely hope that this inspires others to be the hand’s and feet of Christ to the people you meet every day. Jesus call’s us to share what what we have with others and to give to those in need. Each and every one of us has something to give. I pray that each of us use the life that God has blessed us with to bring hope to another person. Comfort others with the comfort you have found in Christ and He will reward you.
