Today was a wonderful day. Our Back 2 School Bash was a huge success. I praise God for His goodness and faithfulness. It was absolutely awesome to see so many people from the community come out. We actually had people lined up at 10am...yup, some stood in line for three hours to receive a back pack. There was no complaining as people had to stand in the hot sun and as we did our best to move quickly and offer drinks. It was great to see how appreciative people were, of course that is not why we did this, but it did give us a great platform to share with people that everything we were doing was provided by the goodness of God. I was blown away to see so many of our people engaging our community. They worked hard running the bounce houses, handing out cotton candy, pop corn and snow cones. Every where I turned I saw our people serving and engaging people, what a snap shot of what the Body of Christ should be all about. Way to go Summit. Today Christ was exalted, today people were able to see and experience the Gospel. I pray that the seeds that were planted today would produce fruit for God's glory. I pray that what we did today would not be an isolated event but a spring board that gives us greater influence and access into our community for the sake of the Gospel. If you gave towards this endeavor, if you served today or if you prayed for this event thank you. God truly showed up and to Him goes all the glory. Please continue to pray that we would truly live out God's mission for Summit..."to glorify God by presenting the Gospel to every man, woman and child and connecting them into a loving relationship with Jesus Christ and others."
