Sharing the encouragement August 28, 2008

I met with two great guys this past Sunday from Waters Edge Church in Yorktown, Va. They came to visit to see how we do Volunteer ministry here at NewSpring. Can I just throw out there that these guys are on fire for the Lord. The joy of the Lord just pours out of them. You can see their energy and excitement about the passion Jesus has given them to make His name famous. It was a great pleasure meeting them and showing them around. I can tell you all day long how amazing you are and how important your ministry is, but there is nothing like hearing that from those who experience it for the first time. Here’s some of the feedback. Check this out.

Proactive, energetic, and welcoming. They left no question in my mind that they were excited to see me.

Moments that we loved…after walking to the car the reentry into the building brought several “Welcome’s”; in the service the ushers were friendly and proactive, even letting one boy know about your no re-entrance policy before he left…it brought me such pleasure to watch that usher own their position and take action so quickly…Fabulous!… the last impression that we received was just a perception that I believe your Host Team members play a part in creating…that is anticipation. In the lobby before the service there was a buzz in the crowd, what seemed like electric in the air, people were awaiting something great and awesome that was about to happen.

Sherry, again, thank you so much for all of your help and kindness. The other thing that impressed me was the energy level and excitement of you and Colleen. It bleeds down to your volunteers and just breeds that anticipation and excitement that your Host Team members create. Thank you for allowing us to have that experience. We loved it!

Have a wonderful day knowing that you and NewSpring are having a great impact in Yorktown, VA at Waters Edge Church!

Contagious, people! Let’s be contagious. Ready, GO!
