Major Success

Our Love Wins Campaign yesterday rocked! I had hoped for about 6 or 7 volunteers to have two teams and hopefully touch about 60-70 homes. We had 17 people show up, and we hit about 250 homes! It was 34 degrees out and snowing. Pastor and I had decided to cancel, then all our volunteers started showing up, and said "why wouldn't we? It's Iowa, it'll just get colder, we can handle this" so we went. We met a lot of people, and helped out a few. Yesterday was really introductory, and just got to meet a lot of people. We ended up doing some work, as one family did not have running water working in their home, but we are getting it hooked up for them. Hopefully we'll get that project done tomorrow, as a few of us go back in the afternoon! I love this! Such a great day! Jesus is good. On our way to live this thing called church and love everyone!

Welcome to the Revolution: Love Wins Campaign

This weekend we will be starting our new outreach program for Life Church! It will be called the Love Wins Campaign. On Saturday October 10 at 9:15 am we will be meeting at the Coralville Rec Center to go over how everything will work, and to pray before we go out at 10:00 am. We will be done around 12:00pm.

We will be going into one of the trailer parks in North Liberty on Hwy 965. What we will be doing is knocking on doors and talking to the people in the trailer park. We will be offering to serve these people in many ways (yard work, house work, mowing, painting, raking leaves, cleaning, conversation, prayer, or anything else we can do on that morning). We really want to serve our way into these people's hearts. The whole goal of this campaign is to share the love of God, to be known in the community, to build relationships with the community, and to find out their needs so we can better serve them.

We will be going on 10/10, 10/24, 11/7, and on 11/21 to the same area. We are still working out details, but we will be doing a Thanksgiving activity on the last Saturday for the neighborhood, as it is the weekend before Thanksgiving. If you can come please try and come the following weeks as well, so we can build solid consistent relationships and share God's love for these people.

I know this may be a little nerve wracking and stretching, but please take the step out of your comfort zone and to share God's love for these people. Before we go out I will be going through details on what to say, and coaching on what we'll be doing. If you have any questions please contact me.

Let's go BE the Church.
