What impact are you making with your life?

I just finished a conversation with one of our long time Raise the Praise Choir Members and a supporter of Praise Community Fellowship, Dave Archer. As many of you probably know Dave has taken on a huge mission project by going "all in" for the Johnson Family who lost everything including their youngest son in a terrible house fire a couple of weeks ago.

Dave has been coordinating most of the help that this family needs including picking up and delivering donated items, making phone calls to various helping agencies,  and meeting with the family regularly to make sure their basic needs are being taken care of.

Of course many of you have stepped up with donations of all kinds to support Dave's efforts to help this family get back on their feet. As I was talking to Dave I told him that he is making an "impact"  (one of my favorite christian words) on the lives of this family in need.

Dave has found a ministry that he has gone "all in" with. When you go all in on anything it can and probably will make an impact on your life and the life of others.  The question I ask you today is, "What impact are you making with your life and what impact are you having on others?"  Is it an impact for the things of Gods Kingdom, or for things of this world?

Sometimes the impact we are making is not a positive one.

Way to go Dave, and thank you for "going all in" promoting the love of Jesus by being a doer of the word.

Remember one of my OWHG (Only With the Help of God) goals is to make PCF the most loving, caring, compassionate, giving churches in the United States.  What Dave is doing is exactly how this can happen.  Get involved with God and watch what happens to your life and the life of those around you! God goes all out for those who are all in!  

Love, Pastor Kent
