Sing this lullaby to yourself
So, I was at the church office today, and Ryan and I were talking about the missions teams that are coming to Forefront over the summer--apparently, they've got teams coming in for almost the entire summer. They'll be doing Servant Evangelism--handing out water bottles and gum and candy and stuff on the streets, along with little cards that have the church's name on them. That's something that the church does once a month, and it's actually a way that a lot of people have heard about the church and started coming, especially in the beginning. Anyways, that, plus a lot of prayer walks, is mostly what these teams will be doing, which is so cool.
I hadn't thought of the fact that Forefront is in an ideal position to bring in missions teams before, but they really are, and it's a great way to help out the church, as well as (more significantly) impact the people in the city. Ryan was estimating that the teams that are coming in have the potential to touch 40,000 people over the course of the summer. Pretty amazing.
Anyways, he told me that, once I move back, I'd better be bringing Foothills missions teams in every summer, and I thought... wouldn't that be so cool? I mean, that would just be the coolest thing I could think of! It would be an ideal youth missions trip, hey? Plus, it would give me an excuse to come back and see everyone here again. Selfish? Me? No, my motives are completely altruistic!
Seriously, though, how much fun would that be?
My Life Group was cancelled tonight--Allison's kids are sick, her house is germy, and half the group couldn't make it anyways, so I'm home to watch Gilmore Girls when it actually airs! What a concept! And before it starts, I'm going to run over to the Gilmore blog for some pre-show thoughts. Join me?
