Lesson 2
The joy of
community. For years Joanie and I dreamed of being part of a community
of believers (in Silverton) that loved God, wanted go deeper in Christ, and to
reach out in His name. I’ve never been a part of a church like this. People genuinely
care about each other, pray for each other, and are trying to live life for
Him. Some of the community stuff is radical and amazing, but usually it is so
simple. Our family came home from a vacation this summer to a de-thawed freezer.
All the food ruined. I didn’t even tell anyone, but the next day members from
the church (who had heard about it somehow) stopped by with a freezer full of
food to give us. We have friends and co-laborers right where we live who have
accepted us and become our good friends. Super cool. And it is a sheer joy to
walking with this group and growing in Him together. Amazing.
