It is so awesome to be part of launching The Point. I love being in the thick of it all … I love hitting the streets and interacting with people … in fact, lots of people lately.
The dynamic duo – Todd & Malachi – was at it again yesterday. We went out canvassing for a couple of hours. We hit about 200 homes – a lot of walking … well, at least me – Malachi slept in the stroller … lucky guy.
I was able to connect with several people. I met two guys in front of their house – tattoes and body piercings. My usual line is “Hey I am starting a new church here is some info.” I knew this wouldn’t work with these guys … so I tried a slightly different approach … it went something like this … “Don’t say no … I am starting a church for people who think church sucks” … they laughed and we engaged a 10 minute conversation. We exchanged names and their final words – “I think we may have to check out this church.” Pray for Don & Mark!
After … Malachi finally woke up … we went to the park. He is the best evangelism tool in the world. My son opens up so many doors – just by his name. We met a few new moms – funny thing – I am the only dad at the park on Mondays – somewhat weird! We reconnected with someone else we met a few weeks ago. Connect and Reconnect – great tool!
I get more and more excited with each passing moment! I love living for the POINT of life >> God!
