God is moving in our community, like we’ve never seen before, but it’s not happening just by inviting people to church… it’s a movement of love and service!! The more I study the Scriptures and look at the life of Jesus I see Him in the streets, touching the hurting people, and meeting their physical needs as a door to meet their spiritual. We all ask God for miracles, we want to God move in powerful ways, and we want to see our cities come to know Christ, so we must go where the people are. Jesus’ miracles many times happened in the streets too!
I am so blessed to be a part of starting these groups here at Next Level. People that have never gotten involved in their communities are responding simply because we’re providing opportunities to love.
I am even more excited to know that what God is starting here, is simply the “trial ground” for training leaders in Latin America the same concepts, and equipping them to have a Movement of Love in their city! God is changing lives!! It’s great that it looks different than what we might have thought.
Check out this short video I recorded for Matt’s blog (pastor of NLC). It will give you a glimpse of what I’ve been up to.
Also, if you’re interested in kicking off ”Service Connection Groups” in your church, it’s MUCH easier than you think, and I would LOVE to spend some time with you to get it going!
Here’s a link to the message Matt and I preached on a Sunday @ NLC. Check it out! Thank you!!!! On your iTunes store search: Next Level Church, then click on Act Now: Part 3 The Needs Around Us.
