Taking Jesus To The Streets


Car Wash

Our equipping staff tried something new this week. On Tuesday, we wrapped up our staff meeting an hour early in order to visit our business neighbors in the immediate area. We went out in five teams and in invited 73 businesses and their employees to stop by today from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM for a free car wash and food.

The turn out wasn't what we hoped for, so we honed our washing skills on over 20 staff and volunteers cars! Several teens and some of our support staff also helped us with the car wash and food. Regardless of the results, it was good for us to get into the neighborhood and to meet our neighbors. We don't want to keep Jesus locked up behind four walls, accessible only to those who enter our doors. We want to take Jesus into our community. We want to take Jesus to the streets.

How about you? How are you taking Jesus into your community? Let's encourage and pray for one another in this great mission!

Then he said to his servants, "The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find." Matthew 22:8-9
