I’ve always believed that God will bless National Community Church in proportion to how much we 1) give to missions and 2) care for the poor. And while we can always give more and care more I feel like these have always been part of our DNA. And I think it’s one reason why God continues to bless us!

When we were a church of about fifty people we hosted a Convoy of Hope. We handed out nearly 50,000 pounds of groceries to about 5,000 people. And while we didn’t experience a huge influx of people coming to church I learned a lesson. Here is it: if you are faithful in one place God will often bless you in another place. Or simply put: faithful here = blessing there!

On September 6, 2008 we will sponsor another Convoy of Hope. We have found tremendous favor. We’re able to use RFK’s stadium parking lot–about 26 acres! And we’re hoping to serve 10,000 guests. But here is the cool thing. We’ll have dozens and dozens of churches coming together to serve. And it’s a beautiful reflection of this diverse entity called the kingdom of God.

Love to invite more local churches in the DC area to get involved. The next vision meeting is July 2nd at 19th Street Baptist. For me information, you can email us @ info@convoydc.org.
