Serving it up in Donaldsonville

I'm so proud of the Late Nite crew who dedicated their weekend to our Dream Center campus in Donaldsonville. A team of nearly 30 people made the trip to serve it up in one of the poorest communities of America--the average annual income per-family is $8200. I thank God for all of the missions projects we're a part of overseas, but you don't have to look very far from home to find extreme poverty and suffering...it's in our own back yard. The Bible is clear on how Jesus feels about the poor, hurting, oppressed, and marginalized--we can't even say we have faith in God if there is not room in our hearts to care for them and offer hope. Under the direction of the phenominal Dream Center staff, we were able to rebuild homes, clean up neighborhoods, minister to children, and serve in the weekend services. Every single Late Niter was stretched to think beyond himself/herself and gain a new perspective on life. It's an incredible thing to be used by God to serve suffering humanity. Knowing we are placed on this earth for purposes much bigger than ourselves helps us understand the blessings of God more. Blessed to be a blessing is more than just a clever church saying--if we can help those in need, then we must!! Thank you Late Nite...it's always an honor to serve.
