Yes, I am the world worst blogger.  I’ve been busy working on my book called “THE BEST IDEAS THAT GOD NEVER USED.”  It’s going to be a best seller, I can tell.  For some reason during this season of my life, all of my great ideas are not what God is choosing to use.  Hmmm.  Makes me wonder what’s up.  Been there?

On a brighter note, we hosted a TREASURE HUNT in our neighborhood last Wednesday.  We simply invited our neighbors to come and search for hidden treasure…we had clues and a treasure map…and we hid the treasure at a neighbors home.  It rained but about 30 people still came and had fun looking for treasure.

The winning team was a group of Middle School boys and they were elated.  We have been building a relationship with them over the last several months…and they do not go to church anywhere.  After they returned with the treasure chest, we had some ice cream and drinks in our garage out of the rain.  And we just loved on our neighbors…laughed with them…and listened to them. 

Do you know your neighbors?  It’s not easy…especially hiding clues in your neighborhood during a rainstorm.  But it is so worth it.  Go meet one neighbor today.  Just walk across the street or yard, knock on the door, and say “Hey, I’m your neighbor.”  “If I can ever help you…please let me know.” 

Try it and let me know how it went.  Be his hands and feet…today.  -Gary Davis

I am so excited about Easter!  We have spent hours getting ready for this exciting day.  Easter has had so much more meaning to me since we began Riverwalk.  I find more meaning in it when I am focused on how to give Easter away…how to reach people with the message of the gospel. 

Over the past few weeks we have mailed about 11,000 pieces of mail, ran an ad in the paper, handed out invite cards, emailed our past guests, and canvassed new neighborhoods in our area with a mission team.  I pray for many people to come and hear the message of the good news.  Also, we have planned some follow up activities to try to connect people into relationships with people. 

Pray and invite people….and let’s see what God does through us as we are willing to be his hands and feet.  -gary
