I was doing dishes in the kitchen just now when Sawyer came in to chat. He shared his idea of us, our family, doing a job together. This job consisted of us inviting people to church with us.
He said we would start with our neighborhood and when we were done with that we could start inviting people who come and use Cal High's field for sports.
I asked him if we would make money doing this job or if we would do this in addition to our current jobs- WACC and Parkville. He said we would do this as well as keep our current jobs and we would not make money doing this.
One reason he wanted to invite more people to church was so that they would give (tithe and beyond) and help people who are in need (homeless).
Another reason was to help people serve our community and come to our church to watch services. We would clearly "tell them what time the services are".
I asked what the services would do for the people who came. He said, "I think they would encourage them to give and learn about God."
Where did this idea come from?
"It just came into my mind and I thought it was a good idea. I remember some teenaged boys (Mormon missionaries in WA) who wanted people to serve their own community."
Lord, you are so good! You have placed a disciple-servant heart in my Sawyer. I just pray you will give me and Jake the courage to step out of our comfort zones so that your will/ plan might be fulfilled through Sawyer. Amen.
