This weekend, nearly 40 churches from across the Valley will take these words to heart. We'll go into neighborhoods, schools, yards, and trailer parks to pursue one simple mission together: to demonstrate the love of Christ in practical ways. Without a doubt, ShareFest is one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. I get to see people go on-mission together, reach out to their neighbors, and do so without any agenda other than serving in a Christ-honoring manner. You can find out more at gjsharefest.com and see which projects still need to be adopted.
This year, I'll be working with a team of high school students and adult leaders at The House, our local shelter for homeless teenagers. Our team will help The House become just a little bit friendlier of a space for at-risk kids by improving their yard, landscaping, laying down rocks, and hauling away materials from previous improvement projects. The House has come a long way since it was launched in 2012, and it's our privilege to serve them this weekend. I hope you'll join me in praying for a wonderful weekend across the Valley, that all of our volunteers would stay safe, and most of all, that God's love would be made clear to people who might not otherwise get a chance to see it.
Solo Dei gloria,
Travis
