The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – we remember and give thanks…

It’s never too late for justice…and mercy…and kindness…and grace…and love.

“Love is the most durable power in the world. This creative force, so beautifully exemplified in the life of our Christ, is the most potent instrument available in mankind’s quest for peace and security.” Love Your Enemies, a sermon on Matthew 5: 43-45 by Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – we remember him today with grateful hearts.

And, Harriett Tubman, Rosa Parks, Michael Haynes, Bryan Stevenson…just to name a few who were and are advocates for God’s loving and peace-filled priorities. May their number multiply in our generation. #Just Mercy  #Harriett #Heroes #Freedom #Truth #Hope

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

“Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.“
