Generosity
I am very excited about the upcoming series on generosity. This series is going to be packed full of of opportunities for all of us at Destiny Church to express generosity to our community. First, we will be handing out RAOK (random acts of kindness) cards each week. The idea is for us to look for ways we can show generosity to someone by doing small acts of kindness and then handing that person a RAOK card telling them that we attend Destiny Church. It could be paying for someone's gas or groceries. It could be washing a neighbors car or helping out a little extra at the office. Whatever we feel the Holy Spirit prompting and giving us the opportunity to do. Next, we are partnering with the Corps of Compassion for a Ravioli drive. The Corps feed several hundred homeless and hungry kids every weekend. Each week we will have the opportunity to bring a can or a case of Ravioli to church. We are also partnering with the Women's Medical Research Center for a baby bottle drive. We will have baby bottles on the back table for each family to take one and fill it up with spare change during the series to help needy ladies with pregnancies and medical issues they may be facing. Both of these organizations are Christian based and are right here in our city! Finally, the last week of the series, we are going to pay $1000 off of someone's credit card debt!!! I can't wait!!! This is going to be a church changing series! Don't miss a single week of it and make sure to bring someone with you!!!!!!!!!

Do we also qualify to receive the cards? Or do we just have to give them? ;)
I forgot to tell you that Corps of Compassion is now Caring 4 Kids Foundation. We thought it better told what we do. Looking forward to the series!!
Gabe: I suppose you could be on the receiving end of a Raok card. Why not?
Kari: thanks for the heads up.
Dear Pastor,
You are interested in small businesses.
By any chance, do you know a good site where small business owners can exchange their ideas?
I am a Japanese travel/business site manager. I want to help traditional kimono craftsmen who look to the occidental world in order to widen their market, which is getting smaller and smaller in Japan.
