On August 2nd, 10 of us from CCV drove (at 6:30 AM) to New York City to visit our sister church, the Forefront Church! What did we do there? What any loving Christian community would do... we loved New York! We weren't the only church there to help out with this escapade. There were about 6 or more churches (give or take) from around the area to help pass out water bottles, granola bars, and packs of gum to the lovely New Yorkers! How much did we ask for each of these items? Absolutely nothing! Each group had a corner where they passed out these items with cards that have information about the church on it. Our corner was 28th St. and Park Ave. I just want to give a shout out to my group, Jeff, Mark, and Ernie! (These guys rock!) This is how the first conversation went: Lisa - Hi there! Would you like a free granola bar? Person 1 - No tha... wait. Free? Lisa - Yep. Completely. Person 1 - What's the catch? Lisa - No catch. Just showing God's Love. Person 1- Thanks! ::takes granola bar, but is reluctant to take card:: Lisa - Have a great day! It was a lot of fun, servant evangilism. Even though it was raining bullets for a good half an hour, we smiled through the rain and had a great time! I met a number of people, even though our conversation was limited to about two to three seconds. And let me tell you, I would do it again and again and again! God bless Manhattan!
