Disciple Dots (Page 4)

During Easter 2014, we began to place dots on maps to represent places where the Spirit led us to be disciples. We continue this part of our Mission Vision and invite you to join in.

Place a red dot for your home address (home base of daily mission). Place multiple blue dots for other places that the Spirit sends you during the week to accomplish God’s mission with your actions, words, work, attitudes, witness, and the presence of the Risen Christ in you! Note that there are separate state/US maps and a globe for spots outside the Columbia area.

Has God worked a disciple moment through you or someone else during the week? Please fill in a Disciple Dot Form found in the menu above and share the story of God’s work. This isn’t about what “we” are doing, but about all that our amazing God is doing! Don’t hide under a basket the light of God’s ongoing work!

Blessing Bags

As we approached the stop light on Bush River Road, we saw a man with a cardboard sign that read, “God blesses you.  Please help me.”  The Spirit tugged me to reach into the backseat and grab one of the Blessing Bags from the church to give to him.  As he took the Blessing Bag the…

Kindness of a Stranger

After receiving incredible kindness from some total strangers this morning, I just want to say… kindness really does make an immense difference. I am astounded by the presence of God on this campus. ♥

The Power of Words

The Spirit nudged a friend to say something to me and it has made a huge impact on my life.  My friend asked, “What do you really have passion about in your life?”  That question alone changed the direction of my life and my vocation.  I thank God my friend had the courage to ask…

Tell God Out Loud

God led a young boy to share FAITH5 with a new friend and their parents one day.  And after only 6 days of doing it, this new household saw a huge impact on their nightly routine.  There was excitement surrounding bedtime and about telling God out loud what their highs and lows were.  The parents shared…

As seen on Facebook

Posted on Facebook: It occurred to me that we were our own blue dot Monday night (Burning of the Greens). I was thinking about all the traffic who were stopped on Hardscrabble waiting on the stoplight to change. They saw us singing and holding candles as we watched the trees burn. I am sure some…

Sharing FAITH5

God led me to share FAITH5 with a family in NC that I met.  I was nervous at first to share but I trusted that God would make something good come out of this.  The family is made up of 2 teens and a mom and dad.  Well, 2 weeks later I got this email from…

Waffle House

  I was eating at Waffle House one day and at the end of my meal, the bread delivery man came in to drop off the invoice and bread.  I smiled in his direction and said Hi.  He came over to my table and said you have a nice smile.  I thanked him for noticing…

FAITH5 Time

After hearing about the FAITH5 stuff, I grabbed a FAITH5 sheet from the narthex table.   The Spirit moved me to make sure I did it tonight with our son.  My son overheard me telling my husband about it and began asking questions about it.  I couldn’t tell if my son was really interested in it or not.  But before he went…

Out of the Mouths of Babes!

One day in church, someone was reading the bible and my child turns to me and whispered, “Hey, I have heard this before.”  With her look of confidence and hope, I was blessed to see a glimpse of who God is creating her to be.

Prayers Miles Away

My sister’s organs were starting to shut down due to toxemia and preeclampsia only 24 weeks into her pregnancy. Living Springs joined people across the nation in prayers to send to the Chicago suburbs and the Holy Spirit is hearing them. My sister held tight to her pew bear as she was waiting to hear…
