Disciple Dots (Page 7)

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!

I had been singing “Jesus Loves Me” long-distance over the phone while my grandchildren are being driven to…

At youth group on Sunday, God led us to Miyo’s at Sandhills to have lunch.  We talked about our names, where they came from, how special they are, and we talked about Jesus’s name.  For it says in the Bible that Jesus’ name is the name above all names.  Then the Spirit led us to ask the waiter what…

A member shared last week that while driving down the highway, he came across an accident that had just occurred.   He happened to be the first one there and after calling for help, was able to sit with the accident victim, holding his head and comforting him until assistance arrived.   God’s presence was made known at this “blue-dot” site because of…
