20 years ago when my husband and I founded Lifechurch (then Church on The Move) we would have only dreamed of the impact this community of Christ Followers would have. Ordinary people working together to do EXTRAordinary things.
Ordinary individuals mobilized to impact their communities, their region......their world.......the world.
To see the lives that are transformed, restored and "redeemed" is amazing. Our mission has been that the power of God enables ordinary people to have an extraordinary life and impact.
A personal story........
Our 21 yr. old daughter, Natalie, a junior at Eastern University, was so moved by the plight of a group of children with special needs that she volunteered to lead her first missions trip to Haiti this past Tuesday. Natalie is not unfamiliar to Haiti, this is her 4th trip. Neither is she unfamiliar with having a sister with special needs....this has been her reality for 18 years.
The earthquake left an already povertry stricken country immobilized. But to add the physical and mental challenges that these children have seems unsurmountable.
Natalie felt with the resources she had, people she knew that would be moved and the compassion in her heart she could do something and she did...............
Watch the story of ordinary people making a big difference

So the next time you think what's in your hand is "small" and can't make a difference, think about this story. The small 'thing' in your hands may be enormous in the eyes of someone else that needs it!!
