Mission: Dallas Next Week!

Next week we'll be taking our team to south Dallas to experience a wide-array of ministry experiences. Today we took part of the team down to view the different areas where we will be working. It's a far-cry from our Carrollton middle-class neighborhoods. My challenge to the students for next week was, "How can you display the kingdom of heaven to these people?" What are some tangible things we can accomplish in order to make their lives better and show them that Christ is our only hope?

After taking an hour or so to make observations about the area, we stopped in a local coffee shop to debrief and talk about what we saw and any other thoughts we had. We all came to the conclusion that prayer is key and doing tangible works in order to show people the love of Christ is important. The coffee shop owner really dug what we were doing and decided to feature our group on their Facebook page. Click here to see.
