What a great way to meet a need and minister at the same time. I wish more churches would come out of their buildings and meet needs in their local community.<br /><br />As graduate students at Regent University, my wife and I attended Virginia Beach Vineyard Church. We did a lot of common place ministry throughout the area. During afternoon drive-time we stood in the medians and gave out ice cold bottles of water with information on our church on the label. During Christmas, the church rented a store front in the local mall and did baby sitting for parents who wanted to go shopping without having to watch their children at the same time.<br /><br />These are just a few ideas to serve our mission fields right outside our church doors. Just something to think about<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1609414225628645361-2051438108583639709?l=mikesshownotes.blogspot.com'/></div>Mike Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04838239965825820554noreply@blogger.com0
