The Intentional Conversation | The thought process of Robbie Shreffler

Our garden day was a relative success. I hope for good things to come from our ministry partnership with a second local church in the Fremont area. In retrospect the theme for the workday was Fellowship and Farming. We had a tractor rolling through the garden; mowing and tilling the ground in preparation for the coming growing season. Meanwhile we were building relationships between two congregations that are ready to do something more for our community than provide Sunday Services. We believe that we were called to more than the bare minimum effort in spreading the Gospel. We believe that in order to spread the gospel more effectively we need to be involved in the lives of community members.

The question for you is how are you making an impact in your community? If we are to preach the gospel to the poor, how are you being active in persuing that? We’ve come to believe that it’s a personal call to each Christian and that it is not good enough to pass the buck along in the form of I’ll-pray-for-you or here’s-a-few-dollars. Prayer and money are needed but the poor, the hungry, those that are in need; need you your time and your attention.

So think about it, think about what you are doing… Is it enough? Can you do more? Should you do more?
