"I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of." -John 10:10, The Message
I'm writing a day early so as not to write on Good Friday.
This week, DOOR Hollywood hosted 47 high school, college, and adult missionaries to serve the community of Los Angeles. Sent out in seven teams each day, they packed, delivered, and served thousands of meals; they helped to maintain and clean some of the busiest shelters in the city; they played with children at transitional housing centers; they helped some agencies with fundraising mailings and others with gardening; they helped move along the progress of our DOOR Community house garden (amen!); and they spent some serious time reaching out to folks living on the streets. We prayed that they might see the face of God here in Hollywood and feel a piece of that "real and eternal life" that Jesus promises. I believe God answered that prayer.
If you'd like to see more of the group in action, please see our brand new Facebook Page and click on the photo albums. Feel free to become a fan and explore the page, leave comments and questions. If you were part of any DOOR Discover group, please feel free to upload your own photos as well. (Non-Discover photos will be removed.)
May you all be blessed this Maundy Thursday evening, may you all be moved at the humanity of Christ on Good Friday, and may you all be struck with newfound joy this Sunday!
Amen,
Matthew
