When
Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-45), the
infant John the Baptist leapt in his mother’s womb at
hearing Mary’s greeting. Mary responded with a joyous
prayer known as the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-56), which
reminds us of God’s mercy for the poor and the promise
that the Nativity will exalt the lowly and fill the
hungry with good things.
The
Barnabas Uplift ministry offers encouragement to those
living in poverty through job training programs. To date, more than
200 Iowa households have moved out of poverty because
of this ministry. Please watch this video testimony
and see if it reminds you of Mary, a young mother
seeking a place for her child.
