Skateboarder Day


What do you do when you live near the best street skateboard park in the USA and it's Skateboarder Day...you grab 500 bottle of Gatorade of course. We partnered with an Apex Community home church and met up at the park. I knew it would be a large crowd. When we arrived the free t-shirt, stickers, shoes, hats etc was in motion to end the event. As the crowd turned to skate some more we held up FREE DRINKS! sign... We were busy for about 30 minutes. the hot dogs the group brought were gobbled up and the 500 drinks were handed out... It was interesting, 1. because i often go up to the park and hand out Gatorade..not telling the skaters I'm a Jesus follower guy... however, they are pretty perceptive and asked often, 'Are you a God guy?' 2. because the new group had a line that went, 'God provided the food.' fun to look at the faces, in both groups... we also used a new kindness card from steve sjogren that pointed the skaters to a web site www.kindness.com it's a cool card that provokes interest...i'm sure the site will improve to point searchers toward the ONE who can change a life. a fun day...provoked some thoughts i'm sure.

free gas part 2




what do you do when you pull into the parking lot and see 1. group holding up free car wash signs but are asking for donations...and 2. kids selling lemonade in front of the filling station...for a moment i paused...got the team together and laid out our plans, fill cars, wash windows, give away five dollar bills...after the pause...

1. I went to the car wash and gave them fifty bucks and 2. went to the lemonade stand and gave them fifty bucks... both parties were stunned...one dad phoned the number on our connect card and exclaimed, 'I can't believe you were so generous to my kids!' I could tell he was moved by our generosity...

small things done with great love...

Free Gas No Kidding!


Today a group of 30 headed out to our local Marathon Station to bring some relief to the people who are paying an arm and a leg for gas. Our signs went up....slow, we then decided to grab our other signs...
Free Gas!

We washed the windshields, put in windshield washing fluid 35 bottles, in the end we served over 100 cars. Big Fun, a great time... Every person received a special connect card, the bottom tears off they handed it in inside for a $5 bill.
