Still Buzzing

God really rocked my world at Buzz 07. It's been just 24 hours since I returned from Washington, DC and I'm still "Buzzing". This conference was jam packed with gems that stretched me professionally and personally. I have to say that Buzz was even better than I anticipated and I know that Matthew and I will be digesting it for some time.
I was totally blessed by the the Buzz staff from NCC, what an amazing group of people, they really made us feel at home. In fact, the staff at NCC and their volunteers are one of the highlights of my visit to DC. Thanks Everyone!
I'll be sure to share more later as I digest all that God is doing in me through this life changing experience.

His agent for change,

Transformers

What an awesome day! On Sunday, June 24th, Journey concluded it's Transformers series by making an impact on our community. We began the day with praise and worship and ended with shopping and a BBQ.
The focus of the day was to live the message we had been hearing and the people of Journey really came through. They were challenged to go shopping at a local grocery store to buy food for the John Knox food bank. They were dismissed from "church" at the time that I would normally preach a 23 - 30 min message and were sent out to "be the church and live the sermon" instead.
The results were beyond our expectation. As people began to return we saw waves and waves of food being brought, sorted and ready to be delivered. We were able to fill a 6 x 12 trailer, front to back and about 3 feet high with nonperishable food and personal items for those in need within our community. We delivered the trailer full of goodies on Monday morning and were greeted with smiling faces and many thanks for Cindy and Shirley, the directors of the John Knox food pantry.

Way to Go Journey! You have been Transformed and have become Transformers!

Juarez is Just Around the Corner

Hey Everyone...

I'm sorry it has been so long between blogs. I have been busy getting Journey ready for their next mission trip. That's right, I said next! We are still a young church and I am so proud to say that we are about to embark on our second mission trip. Our first was last January when we sent several people to New Orleans to help with the rebuilding effort.

Now, we are just 3 weeks away from sending 28 people (students and adults) to Juarez to build a house for a needy family. We have been real busy raising the $21,000 dollars that it takes to accomplish this 2 week trip. And the end is in sight!

Please keep this team in your prayers as they make the final preparations for this Journey of a Life Time!

Happy to be back in the blogospher,

Bob
