Not so random acts of kindness

August has been an incredible month! Our focus has been on outreach and on impacting our neighbors close by and around the world. Whether visiting the local nursing home to spend some time with residents, giving an encouraging word and sharing songs or sending ties to South Africa, or Rock(ing) the Block - providing school supplies, food, fun, inflatables, worship bands and more to our community free of charge, or giving away money to the community, we have enjoyed being a blessing to our neighbors with not-so-random acts of kindness! We are blessed to be a blessing and I'm so blessed to be surrounded by people who are willing to take church outside of the 4 walls! The Overcomers of Victory Life Christian Ministries are amazing - they don't flinch at the challenges presented to them and they give 100% to make sure that God is pleased and that the Victory Life vision is actualized! Now, we move into September - what has impacted you during Outreach month and how do you plan to continue the not-so-random acts of kindness in your own life?

Church on the Move - Spread Light!

Sunday was a great day! We had an abbreviated service, as the "I am Light" series was continued with the message "Flashing Lights" - then we took the light to the community. We got together in groups of 3 and spread out through the houses and apartments surrounding the church and gave free light bulbs to all who would receive with no strings attached.

August is Outreach month at Victory Life and this was a part of our demonstration of God's love for the community. It was so much fun to see people's reaction to a free gift - many didn't quite know how to take it - others were amazingly appreciative - all were impacted!

We endeavored to give a free gift... like God's love; it was a small way for us to show God's love in a tangible way. In the end, we hope we brought some light into someone's day; it certainly did that for each of us who participated in the operation! We gave natural light and hopefully a little spiritual light as well.

For those of you who participated, we would love to hear some of your takeaways, some of your interactions and how it felt for you as the giver - please share - and keep on 'Flashing'!
