Faith Blitz Sunday

This Sunday, our church had over 2,300 people set out to bring the church to those outside the walls of our buildings. The Times-Union even had a video of our day online which followed an article in the Monday edition. What topped it off for me was an email I got from our Missions Minister Doug Newland about a short-term mission team that was in Chiang mai, Thailand
View Larger Map working with a local children's orphanage on Sunday. Though the purpose of their trip was to help these workers, they did a Faith Blitz project that was separate from the established plans. They sent along a photo of the group and they are all holding their Faith In Action workbooks.
They poured a concrete driveway for the Christian church in Baan Haan, Thailand. Christ's Church Missions 2007 was written into the base of the concrete slab.

What an awesome feeling to be part of something so vast and something with far more reaching effects than we can comprehend.
