An ordinary hero is a person who quietly (pastors don’t qualify) and faithfully serves. These are people we should honor. Do you know any ordinary heroes? Send them to me at chris [at] theredbrickchurch.org
One of the reasons that missions is happening at the Red Brick Church in the way that it is happening is because of Dick’s leadership. But, Dick and Shirley also mean a great deal here.
When I read a one paragraph summary like this one, I am amazed at the beauty of the Body of Christ.
***************************
Dick & Shirley have been my heroes for several years. I first really got to know them when they had a Bible study in their home. Later, they came to the hospital and sat with me when my son was in intensive care. They have prayed for me and my family during many difficult times. They have been here for me in a caring and non-judgmental way: through my bouts of depression and job loss and my son’s bad life choices and during his recovery from drug addiction. When my mom was sick and later died I was so comforted by their prayers and their love. And the food they brought too. Their hugs and phone calls and love have made them heroes to me.
