On Good Friday, Revolution sponsored a third gas buy-down (we just serve the community by pumping their gas for them and giving them 25 cents back for every gallon they get). This one was advertised much more than last summer's, even Channel 5 news showed up :)
We also had LOTS more volunteers come than we ever have. Awesome!
It really does a community good to have people serving them in the name of Jesus. I actually didn't hear any stories this time of people declining our efforts (we usually have just a few), although we maybe had the occasional person who didn't really trust our intentions. It's almost sad that anyone would think it's impossible that someone would want to do something nice for you, without expecting anything in return.
We get nothing out of these (well, this time we ended up with news coverage lol, but that wasn't our intention!). It does inevitably help get word out about our church, but that's just a bonus.
Our mission is to live, love, and serve- it's that simple :)
