why are we doing this?

Why the focus on reaching out? Why would we be spending our time and energy on doing menial tasks for people? What do our community and international projects have to do with serving Christ? Is this anything more than random acts of kindness? Jesus said, in Matthew 10:41-42, (MSG): “This is a large work I've called you into, but don't be overwhelmed by it. It's best to start small. Give a cool cup of water to someone who is thirsty, for instance. The smallest act of giving or receiving makes you a true apprentice. You won't lose out on a thing." Possibly by doing something good for someone, they will get the idea that God cares for them. Maybe we can help turn someone’s heart back to God.

That’s why we are doing this. Check out wecanshareit.org

  1. As I read I think of that clip from the movie the Apocalypse. That one scene sums up what it’s about.
