Bikes or Bust Columbus

Give Big — Jeff on December 30, 2008 at 7:20 am

I am so fired up about our event. It was went great. We raised 125 bikes for a school by riding up in a 60′ boom lift for 26 hours. Chick-fil-a, Blue door Boutique, Starbucks and Walmart partnered with us. We had the Chick-fil-a cow dropping mini parachutes with toys on the end out of the boom life. What a sight!!  We had tons of TV and radio coverage.

My highlights were:

1. Seeing all our our Mychurch team come together to pull it off–You guys are Awesome!!!

2. Seeing the School principle pass out the bikes to her parents to take home and put under the tree. (the stories were amazing)

3. Being able to create a culture of “crazy compassion” and set the stage for who we will be for our community.

Yes it was crazy even a little ridiculous but in the end its just a small way to give back. God has been so good to us. I still am amazed that he sent Jesus to sacrifice and die for me…

Great day

What a great day its been… God has totally worked out a snag we had with our new building. We had great conversations with potential local band and worship leaders. Then about an 10 minutes ago we lined up 50 to 75 high school students to come the week before Easter for a missions trip here in Columbus…

How cool is all that.

This weekend we will ride up in a 40′ boom lift to raise 125 bikes for underprivileged children for Christmas. I will write more on this tomorrow.

Its time to eat dinner. Christy made her awesome lasagna.
