Christmas Cookie Day

Today was the last of our Five Weeks of Service!  Each week was so filled with fun, and most importantly stories of lives that were touched, either by prayer, or just a simply smile!

Today we separated into two teams.  One team went to a local nursing home called The Lakes.  Mark and Jess did a great job at leading that team.  They sang Christmas songs with these sweet people, and showered them with hugs, kisses, and love!

The second team went back to Pine Manor, the low-income international neighborhood.  We had so much fun.  Hanging off the sides of trucks, hundreds of cookies, beautiful sunshine, door knocking, and more.  We broke into smaller teams, to go door-to-door giving out cookies, a hand-written Christmas card, and an invitation to come let us serve them at NLC.  

We had the opportunity to pray with some of these struggling families.  Many needed financial miracles and healing.

I was most excited that the people of NLC saw the poverty that exists here in SWFL, and allow the Holy Spirit to put a burden inside their hearts to do more.  I know we’re going to begin reaching out more in this area with the love of Christ.

Thanks again to EVERYONE that did SOMETHING the last five weeks.  You were all important, and I can’t wait to see what happens as this all keeps on growing through the New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!
