“The Church has Left the Building” - Additional Testimonies
Here are a few more short testimonies about the action step we took as a church body to get out of our comfort zone. Also, check out the original post about our service day and other short testimonies.
“We passed out water and freezy pops at the Clarence Bike path. Several people took water and freezy pops and a few asked why we were doing this. It was great to smile and say, ‘we just wanted to share God’s love.’ People were kind, open, social.”
“I received a phone call at the church asking what time the services were. I said we were not having services today. Instead we were out in the community, serving and communicating God’s love. She said, ‘Oh, I want to be a part of a church like that. I will be coming next week…”
“It was a wonderful time to see the ‘body’ having joy in working together! It was a reminder that serving the Lord is a unifying and encouraging activity. The world needs to see Christians united in their work for Him.”
“Instead of walking and running by, people stopped and talked. They were surprised we were not charging for the water & granola and would ask us why we were doing it. That opened a wonderful door to explain how and why ‘our church has left the building.’ ‘That is so nice!’ they would say. The common ground - door opener - was the dogs. One man stayed and chatted at least 20 minutes.”
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” - Galatians 6:9 & 10
