To Love at all is to be Vulnerable. I used to think that there are favorites—one's inner-circle. People you let “in” with careful concern. They are few. They are family. They are constant. Real love doesn’t work that way. 8220;Who can listen to a story of loneliness and despair without taking the risk of experiencing similar pains in his own heart and even losing his precious peace of mind? In short: “Who can take away suffering without entering it? 8221; (Nouwen, The Wounded Healer). In my short-lived l...

My Heart is Gripped with Fear | Send the Roths | Directors' Blog
http://www.sendtheroths.com/2015/02/my-heart-is-gripped-with-fear.html
My Heart is Gripped with Fear. I have learned that when you run with strong leaders, it is incredibly easy to hide behind their strength. But that was not God's plan for me. I was married at age 20 and I guess I thought that marriage was God’s reward to me for finding my identity in Him, for standing firm in the vision that He gave me. I felt like it was some kind of reward for passing an exam. Insecurity. Pride. Fear. When I roll over in bed and hear the soft utterances of my husband seeking God, asking...

Stark Contrasts: Hope and Violence | Send the Roths | Directors' Blog
http://www.sendtheroths.com/2015/06/stark-contrasts-hope-and-sadness.html
Stark Contrasts: Hope and Violence. We bought a beautiful 80x80 meter plot of land on the outskirts of Goma today. It was just after church members experienced a night filled with heavy gunfire around the church. People were killed, but none of them were members from our church. I received a text message from Andrew just as we signed the documents for the land. 8220;Don’t go by the airport today. Lots of shooting and panic.”. I can’t help but think that that prostitute did not deserve such a death&...

Love and Anger | Send the Roths | Directors' Blog
http://www.sendtheroths.com/2015/06/love-and-anger.html
I’m not sure where the line between when anger ends and rage begins, but I know that I’ve found myself dancing on that line more often than not as an adult. I would even say that my anger has been more frequent and more intense as I have matured in love. I love my husband. I love my country. I love the Church. I love my pastor. I love the underdogs and the misfits in this world. I love equity and justice. I love deep, real and raw talks. 8220;In your anger, do not sin. ” Ephesians 4:26. It’s okay t...

Fires and Planes Shot. I woke up today to this photo and an iMessage from Pastor Euclide. 8220;Can you believe what is going on here? Fire, fire fire! It brought back the memories of 2010 when his house was burnt down along with the church. It was devastating to their family and to the church. This is life in slums without building codes, where people live day to day, without running water, overcrowded and unprotected by their government. Yet, in Birere—the Goma slum— it is often safer th...Just as I beg...

How did Rally International Grow Up? | Send the Roths | Directors' Blog
http://www.sendtheroths.com/2015/03/how-did-rally-international-grow-up.html
How did Rally International Grow Up? Rally International’s first conception was during Andrew Roth’s second year in college at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Andrew had a heart for adventure and justice along with a renewed passion for Jesus. He also had a background in technical off-roading and a fascination with Africa. He nearly idolized the Land Rover Camel Trophy, the most popular and difficult off-road competition of its time. But there was never a true sense of peace. During their fifth ye...
