There are two boys from Iowa who are walking across the US right now doing random acts of kindness. They are not overtly Christian as far as I can tell but their mission seems to be something we could all buy into. Check out www.nostrangerland.blogspot.com Oh and I've totally ordered the hoodie. :-)

Prayer Walking
Just thought I would share with all of you what Geneseo has been doing in order to grow our Passionate Spirituality.
Prior to the NCD, we had established a prayer map that includes all the roads, and homes withing 7 miles in every direction of the church. (Rural life) We have begun prayer walking those roads. I plan to personally walk all 400 miles this summer knocking on every door. We have a flyer to hand out that basically says, "We are praying for you."
So far I have walked 42 miles 10% of the roads, (It is adding an extra 2-4 hours to my days) and the Divine appointments are profound. One man broke down in tears the moment I told him I was there just to pray for him. (God changed my schedule, or I would not have been there when he was)
I and others with similar experiences have begun sharing those stories during worship, and the move of the spirit is starting to get people excited, nervous, and filled with anticipation. I don't know where it will take us through the summer, but the one thing we know is we are surrendured to the Spirit, and God is in control.
Blessings, and see you soon. CF

Building Committees
Hi all!
I just had a wonderful meeting with our building committee. They are all gun-ho about figuring out what to do out our pathetic church building! Yeah!
Does anyone know of any people/websites/books that are helpful in this process??
How do we figure out what the needs of the future church are, not just our present church??
thanks for any ideas!
