UNO Serving East OUTREACH

Geneva Church of Christ along with other Area Churches did an outreach into our community. To say that I was pumped was an understatement considering what God did this week with my wife. He sent her to the same place that we are reaching out to and she did not even know where we were going today. When she called me the first thing she said was, "Can we have a mobile soup kitchen?" Here is part of her heart she wrote in her blog:



I know that people "use" the system. I know that people buy what they want and beg for what they need. I know people "use others" to gain and remain in their own pit…and yet there is this one phrase within a commission given to all of us who say we are followers of Christ. Not even a phrase but a word…GO! Go therefore into all the world…..



Don't you find it interesting that He did not say, BRING THEM TO THE CHURCH. WAIT FOR THEM TO COME. HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM AND THEY WILL…..



If my memory serves me…CHRIST WENT TO THEM…He walked right up to the woman at the well. He walked up to the adulterous woman. He walked up to the tax collector. He walked up to the hungry, bleeding, poor, sick, desperate, suicidal, homicidal, lost, in search of meaning, drug addict, alcoholic, user… He walked up to….me and He walked up to you.







Today we GOT GOING and brought chili, hot dogs, beverages, games, prizes of flash lights, batteries, winter items like scarfs, gloves, hats, socks, as well as cleaning supplies, toiletries and more to the families God had called us to join Him today in showing His love in a practical way. The above clip is what our day entailed...it was AMAZING! Pastor Matt Thompson
