Friday night we had a Volunteer commissioning rally for all who wanted to serve on Saturday for Convoy of Hope. It was electric. 420 Jesus-followers who showed up just to be a part of serving and giving to our community through Convoy of Hope. Probably one of the coolest experiences I ever had being a part of the excitement and passion of so many coming together as ONE.
Saturday from 6am was a marathon of se
rving, ministering, leading, 
and celebrating.Convoy of
Hope was a day of compassion for all of 
Washington County. One Big idea- compassion in the name of Jesus, 30 churches cooperating (unheard of), 80+ different agencies, organizations, and companies, 700 volunteers, and we reached 2,300 guests. Unprecedented! Awesome! We treated EVERY guests as our guest of honor, and we enjoyed every minute of it.Sunday at Lifehouse was more rally and celebration than church. We "did" and "were" the church on Saturday, so Sunday was just an opportunity to be a "family of friends". I love pastoring Lifehouse and leading the Church to reach this region for Jesus!

Your heart is so pure and your leadership sets the example for all of us! You are truly a light in the darkness and one that we all appreciate having in our lives. Thank you for being so passionate and loving to all you cross paths with!
I was so blessed by the Convoy of Hope experience. What an awesome opportunity to give real hope and help to the community. I went to there to help others, but I was the one who was blessed in the process. What a message the Lifehouse is sending to the community. We don't just say "Jesus loves you", we show them His love by meeting the community’s most basic needs. I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve along side my daughter and have her experience first hand the benefits from serving others. It is was such a great sight to see all the different Churches coming together with one goal of presenting the hope of Christ to our community.
It is our privilege to serve those in need. It was truly my privilege to lead. I feel honored by God to be able to lead so many Jesus-followers to make a significant differences in the lives of so many with such real needs.
