Phenomenal Give Back!

Phenomenal is the right word for our gas give away! It was simply spectacular. The workers at the gas station were wonderful and friendly and the people from the community were blown away. They couldn't believe that a church would simply give gas away! No strings, no catches, no surveys to fill out, no sinners prayer being said. Simply a church giving back to the community. The smiles on peoples faces, and the excitement in their voices was so much fun. I mean seriously, let's be honest, it was only ten bucks a car. In the scheme of life that is but a small drop in the bucket. But I think it was just the fact that we were giving something free. No strings. No catches.

One guy that pulled up asked, What's the catch?" I replied, "No catch, just free gas." He said, "Oh come on nothings free!" I said, "Well, normally that's true, but today, gas is free." He smiled really big and said, "Wow, now that's' cool."

Isn't it just flat out fun to make people smile? To share the love of Christ with them in a practical way is just easy and fun! Wow! I know everyone that volunteered to stand out in the rain and hold signs, and to pump gas will honestly say it was worth it. Daniel [team member] said that it was the best time he had in a long time. Dawn [team member] said that she had a blast! Trevor, Wendy, and Ida were the bombs standing out on the road with a sign in one hand and an umbrella in the other.....YOU GO TEAM!
