One of my favorite things we do at New Hope is called KINDNESS IN ACTION. We go out and serve our community in ways that will show GOD’S LOVE with no strings attached. It’s not about getting people to church, or exposing New Hope, but exposing GOD and his LOVE to the community.

Last weekend, our ASHLAND LAUNCH TEAM and their NEW CAMPUS PASTOR went to WAL-MART, not to BUY for once, but to GIVE AWAY. They gave away free sno-cones, and popcorn to people heading into shopping Mecca.

Our team is also frantically trying to figure out what else we can do to show God’s love at all of our campuses. It is the the response to the LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF thing. Wow.

I can honestly say that more people have come to New Hope or commented on KIA than anything else we have ever done. A sno-cone can change a life.

I love what NATIONAL COMMUNITY CHURCH is doing for their community and I would love for our campus communities to do the same in the future. If you are AMBITIOUS about radically serving your community, check THIS OUT. Check out the main site for Convoy of Hope HERE.

And BTW…don’t wait for your church to plan something…GO DO IT!

blessings and peace!
