Making a Difference

It is funny...I love to write, but blogging has been a challenge to me and I know there are a number of you out there that have encouraged me to share some of my thoughts and experiences in a blog.

SO....here I go with another shot at being more loyal to posting these.

The growth of the Seacoast Dream Center in North Charleston over the 4 months has been absolutely amazing. God has allowed us to touch well over 5,000 lives. If you haven't been involved in any of it, here are some of the highlights:

- 5,000 bookbags handed out
- 300 turkeys provided
- Over 8,000 meals handed out
- Clothing beyond what you could imagine

I think what has touched me most of all were the 13 people that were baptized during one of our Sunday Morning Services in December, including 2 of our girls in Children's Ministry. It is amazing to see God work in the lives of others and exciting to see how He will use them to grow His kingdom.

Last weekend we went out for Adopt-a-Block, which is a day where the church goes out into the community, knocking on doors, handing out food, loving on people and really being the hands and feet of Christ. Our team loaded up a grill and cooked hot dogs! Funny...a round tube steak can open the door to talk to so many people. We had went from a 2 year old little boy to a 70 year man and everything in between. Smiles came out and I really feel like we are gaining the trust and love of the people in the community.
