Every Sunday we receive anywhere from 5-20 visitor cards from first time guests. We are still at the place where I call each guest personally and thank them for their visit and welcome them back. Jaye also sends a nice handwritten card early in the week.
Well, today while calling our visitors, I met a man who absolutely loved CCF this past Sunday. He remarked that it was well worth his 2 hour walk home! After church, he had no ride and didn't know anyone, so he walked home to Riverdale. 2 hours! he said it was worth it and he will be back this week to do it again! Are you kidding?!?! Well, as you can imagine...he will not be walking anymore. We are linking him up with a ride.
Man, it makes you feel like God is up to something here when people will walk 2 hours to be a part of it! This really moved me and I wanted to share it with you. You just never know the stories unfolding around us.

Pastor, i know the man you are talking about, he sat right infront of us last sunday, i remembered him being very pleased when ike gave him a mini(he was looking around for one, when you were preaching and he wanted to write down things on the mini like others, thank God we had two). When we were coming back home,just when we were about to turn off into our apartment, at the corner of Duval high sch, we saw the same man walking home and i was like, ike,"look at the same man , is he walking home, can we stop and ask him..., sad that we did not stop to help and hey!, he might be someone looking to be connected to God, i am happy for the ride the church offers.
ReplyDeleteI shared withh my small group last wednesday, how a statement that Caleb your brother made at the last discernment meeting, turned into a message for me. We all have to leave no stone unturned for Christ.
