Video - Transforming Communities: The Power of Love and Kindness.
Are you feeling lost or discouraged in your journey to make a difference in your community? Imagine a neighborhood church and local school that link up to form a powerful partnership in order to help kids achieve their full potential by showing love and kindness to students without any hidden agenda. Despite initial skepticism, the school and the kids soon realize that these church members are genuine, caring individuals with inspiring stories of transformation through faith. The church set up a beautification day where volunteers worked on campus to remove graffiti and plant a new garden. The football team received motivational pep-talks and pre-game meals from caring individuals. The church's youth pastor began attending as a guest speaker at the school's student-led faith club. The congregation even set up a food pantry for hungry kids and families in need. Over time, the school even even gave the youth pastor an office at the school to support students and meet with those who voluntarily needed to talk. The separation of church and state doesn't mean leaving faith at the door - it means finding ways to make a positive impact within the boundaries. By staying true to our purpose and showing love without strings attached, we can create beautiful, meaningful change every day.
