ThanksGiving thoughts

   The Revolution Tour is completed, what an amazing experience.

Revolution Update Tour 

   Over one month ago Stacy and I began a journey visiting eleven different churches that have been very involved with Solid Rock and the Revolution project.   The purpose was to bring over 530 individuals and organizations up to date regarding what has happened over the last two years since ground breaking in November of 2014 and what the the future holds. 
It was a wonderful time visiting an amazing array of different type of churches and meeting many people who have be very involved with Solid Rock for decades.
What I now better understand and appreciate is the variety of faiths involved with Solid Rock. Even though there are differences in how each church might praise the Lord or reach out to those in need, all of these churches are each praising and doing with the same underlying reason - to fulfill the message Jesus delivered asking that we recognize Him, the blessings God has placed on every one of us and that we are to serve others. 
Whether we praise thru contemporary or conservative services, rockin' electric music or traditional organ music, pews with kneeling bars or chairs arranged in a semi-circle - we are all acknowledging Him, trying to live our lives as He asked, searching within ourselves to find the unlimited love we all possess, and reaching out to those in need. 
From providing meals to thousands day after day, planting churches in far away places with church members relocating to be the roots of the new churches, reaching out to neighbors offering food clothing and shelter to people going through a difficult period in life - all of these things are being done by groups of people who really all belong to the same thing - the Body of Christ.

So as I told the interesting history of Solid Rock and explained what has happened with the project and then most importantly why this project is needed, it really came down to just one simple thing: This project will ensure that for decades to come the Poorest of the Poor have a place to go when they need health care, and they will be provided that care with loving, open arms and in the name of Christ the Lord. Care, love and hope will be provided to people with no expectations who have no feeling of entitlement, continuing many years of serving others. What an amazing gift to provide to people in need, and the Revolution will be the vehicle though which these works will continue for generations, raising so many, changing and saving lives.
   This Thanksgiving we are all fortunate to be celebrating the abundance that our blessed country provides to each of us, please stop, take a moment and communicate your love and appreciation to not just your friends and family but to everyone you encounter this holiday, we are the Body of Christ.    
   Thank you to all of the people and organizations that have made this project go from only a dream to a project well underway.
   So I ask if you would support people in the DR,  this project and help us ensure that the amazing works that have happened in these first 27 years will continue for 27 years and beyond.
   We are blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving!
