It was great having the Youth Mission Trip from Southside up. There are a 100 great stories ranging from Chic-Fil-a Guitar Guy, Playing Outburst in the Garage, and Bowling for Missions.
Two of my favorite stories are:
1. My friend Chuck Brown and I were going to a local apartment complex to ask if we could put door hangers on the doors. We already guessed the answer would be no, but it never hurts to ask. Just as we thought, that request was met with a resounding "No". But then it was as if God whispered something in the manager's ear, she turned around and said maybe you can do something for the kids here in the club house! Wow! We were invited by the apartment complex's manager to come back Wed. night and do a kid's activity night and hand out our flyers. That night Bruce Thompson and I did a magic show, we handed out popcorn, and did face paint. The kids loved it. But the coolest part of the night was all the apartment kids hanging out afterwords and singing worship songs with the mission team. It was a God Moment.
A few weeks later I was at a local church and a kid came up to me and said "Your the magician," I smiled.
2. The Super Door Hanger: We hung literally 1000 door hangers on Wednesday. Several of the door hangers were put on empty houses. We figured that you never know what might happen. Sure enough, 3 weeks later I get a call about the new church. I asked them where they had heard about us and they said last week they were looking at a house that was for sale and our door hanger was still there!
