DISHWASHER


It happened again this week.


A couple in our church had a full set of appliances - dishwasher, refrigerator, stove - they couldn't use because they were moving into another place that had all those things already. They stopped by and asked if we knew of anybody who could use them because they wanted to give them away.

Funny thing is: we did know of someone.

So a second party who was in big-time need was the recipient of some pretty cool appliances yesterday.

This kind of thing isn't really that much of an anomaly at KFA, even though every story isn't as dramatic as this one. We operate in a very generous church community. It seems that people live out what it means to love God and love others, for which I'm extremely grateful.

If your church shut its doors tomorrow, would your community notice a difference? As a follower of Christ, are you personally generous with your resources and possessions? I hope you'll wrestle with these questions. I'm convinced they are key ingredients to our mission as we bring the message of hope to this city and 'make it easy for people to find and experience God.'

And be blessed.

That is SO sweet! We all know that they could have sold them, but to give them to someone in need is awesome. They sound like lovely people...right at Christmas time too!
