Blueberry Patch

Gary and Lennie run a donation-only hostel in Northern Georgia called the Blueberry Patch Hostel as a ministry. The hostel is in what used to be a workshop. Adam wrote more about this beautiful hostel in his blog. What truly amazed me was the generosity of this couple. They were the most genuine, kind, humble, and hospitable people I have ever met. There are a testament to how when you find your identity in Christ it frees you to be truly generous without thought or worry of self-preservation. God is taking care of these people so that they can in turn take care of tired AT hikers. Many Christian ministries still worry about taking care of their things, preventing them from being truly hospitable. But when you see all good things as being gifts from God, and knowing they belong to God, not you or your ministry, you don't have to worry. That is true Christian hospitality, and a perfect example of Christian charity.
