Welcome back to Beyond Conversations! Today's guests are Joy and Bryan Steele, long term family friends of Deborah and her parents. With a friendship stretching back to Joy's uni days Deborah has seen evidence of sacrificial and joyful hospitality in their lives. We discuss the reason why hospitality and generosity have marked their lives, the foundation God has put in place and some of the resulting fruit, some of which pretty surprising!  Hospitality is one of YWAM's fundamental values and one that reflects the generous heart of God. 

17. Practice hospitality YWAM affirms the ministry of hospitality as an expression of God’s character and the value of people. We believe it is important to open our hearts, homes, YWAM locations and campuses to serve and honour one another, our guests and the poor and needy, not as acts of social protocol, but as expressions of generosity (Gen 18:1-8;  2Sa 9:1-11; Psa 68:5-6; Pro 22:9; Isa 58:7; Mat 25:31 46; Act 28:7-8;  Rom 12:13; Heb 13:1-3; 1Pe 4:9).
