Well, It has begun! LifePoint is on course to reach our community. We are looking for ways to reach the community relevantly.
So far, with a launch team of about 20 dedicated adults and with God’s help we have been able to:
- bless 5 families via random outdoor service projects (mowing, bush trimming, gutter cleaning, flower planting, mulch laying etc…)
- bless the community with a FREE outdoor concert at the park (including free: sno-cones, cotton candy, popcorn, pop and water)
- 3 Families on our Launch Team have been blessed with Groceries from other members on the Launch Team!
- By God’s provision we were also able to provide a totally FREE CAR WASH to the community and we washed nearly 80 cars in a 4 hour period. We also gave them a FREE Ice Cream cone cupon to the local favorite Ice Cream Shop – Dietschs Bros.
The best part of all has been the responses that we get from people. They just don’t understand that there is no catch…we are doing these things for FREE…Really!
Coming up, we are doing a FREE TAILGATE PARTY for the University of Findlay Football home game on October 18th. Also, we are doing a house winterizing projects for those in the community who need it. We are planning to do a thanksgiving meal for families in need sometime in November.
God is providing our needs and leading us in our efforts! We will Trust in Him! As we work in the community with those in need, we will be able to share with them how our personal relationship with Jesus has changed our lives and given us our purpose to “Connect the Community to Christ”!
What other relevant ideas has your church used to reach out to the community?
God Bless,
