The World has come to Us!

I’m always amazed whenever I work in Clarkston.  The diversity of people groups is astonishing! I met people from Burundi, Somalia, Turkey, Russia, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya (I enjoyed speaking Swahili today), Bhutan, Nepal, Burma & India.

The people were fantastic!

Today I enjoyed working with my teams who were from Total Grace, New Mercies, Mt. Moriah and Green Pastures churches.

The team was very motivated and had a great attitude.  We had nearly 200 people come to the event.  We served food, did blood pressure checks, had a moon walk, had balloons and facepainting, gave out children’s clothes and school supplies.  What a blessing!

It was great to see multiple churches working together.  That’s a beautiful example of what Whirlwind Missions is all about.  Creating a partnership of churches working in multihousing communities sharing the Gospel.

In Clarkston we take a more gradual approach with the Muslim families we work with. We don’t hit them over the head with the big, black Bible.  We become friends and share when we see an interest or opening.

I have friends that ask me, “When do we know when we should share our faith?”  In my experience when it’s the time it’ll be very obvious.  Things like, “Tell me about Jesus.”
