It's great to see (and be part of) a church that's serious about not just reaching "their own" but reaching out to the surrounding community. Your blog reminds me of Acts 1:8b - Jesus said, "... you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." For us, Jerusalem would be Orlando, and Judea & Samaria would be Florida and Georgia. He <i>didn't</i> say, "... you shall send "professional missionaries" to the remotest part of the earth to witness on your behalf, and if you have any resources left over use them to pay down the debt on your church building."

Seeing all of those kids running around and when we would tell them what we were doing, they were so excited. One man read the flyer as I handed it to him and said," you know, this is just in time, Thank You, this is just in time"....I am glad we serve a just in time God. It was definately an eye opener.
