Here's the news story from our clean up this weekend

It is so cool that we are able to make a difference in the community. My vision is that people who live in Harrisburg would have a sense of pride for their community. In addition, I would like to see those churches and businesses working alongside Harrisburg City to make Harrisburg a clean and safe place to live. My reason for doing this is to develop relationships so that people can see the love of Christ in me. It's not about me or my glory, but it's about Christ.

neighborhood cleanup
So God's been doing a ton in my life. Real quick, here's what I've been up to: a href="http://www.whptv.com/mediacenter/local.aspx?articleID=140052
God is doing some amazing things in our lives here in Harrisburg. Cindy and I are leading another neighborhood cleanup (Saturday, March 21st at 10am-2pm). It has been encouraging that one of our neighbors, Charles, has been highly involved in this planning process. He has made phone calls, etc., for us. We have also established extensive contacts with Harrisburg City to have them help us. It is cool because the city understands that they cannot accomplish their goals without our help. We can't do it without them either, so we are developing a partnership. I filled out the paperwork to "adopt-a-block." I wanted you to know that things are rolling and for you to pray for us.
Specific prayer requests in regards to developing relationships;
1. I would take specific opportunities that God is providing to share Christ with our neighbors.
2. We would find other Christian couples on our street that love Jesus as much as we do.
I would like to start a Bible study with them, but the main problem now is that I just don't know where to find the time for it. I'm trying to do so much. I need more help. Pray that other people would step up and help and that I would be willing to delegate too!
Thanks!
