You get swamped by generosity on this tour.
First, everyone on the team looks for ways to serve each other. Folks are always asking what they can do, how they can help. The culture of intentional servant leadership appears to multiply.
We’re welcomed each night by a different church community. Most of these people don’t know us and many of them know little bits of our mission, but they eagerly open their doors, feed us, and shower us with love and kindness.
We leave each of these places refreshed physically, but beyond that there’s a sense of being sent from each community. Each church owns a piece of this endeavor and becomes part of the incredible circle of support that keeps us going.
We can’t do this without remembering those who’ve sacrificed financially to support the kids at the HOME OF HOPE through the FREEDOM TOUR. Community sponsors and individual donors gave so 22 kids can know the lives God intended for them. We travel on the wave of their generosity.
This is all pretty humbling. We get to do this amazing adventure, riding through Denver on Monday as a team in our spiffy team jerseys, while each of us is surrounded by incredible kindness. We seek to serve, but it’s us who are being blessed in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
Generosity becomes commonplace on this tour, but it’s never takes for granted.
Monday’s word-of-the-day was ENTHUSIASM, welcoming what God puts in our path with energy and excitement. We do this thing to be light in dark places. We want our faith to shine, to be exuberant, to radiate enthusiasm.
