Fruit…Chapter One

If you build it, they will come.

Amanda Mooney from St. Gabriel’s Church in Concord, Ohio sent the following e-mail out to elementary school families registered at the church last week:

Within the first 24 hours of sending the message, Amanda was contacted by six different families wanting to communicate information about their children, including one family that hadn’t been involved with the church for two years. This same full-page announcement was included in their church bulletin for weekend services this past Saturday and Sunday, with the hope that additional families will benefit from the supports in place there.

Way to go, St. Gabe’s! Keep us posted on your progress as more families are drawn to the church through your efforts.

If you’d like to share your experiences of God working through the efforts of your ministry, send me an e-mail at steve@keyministry.org.

Interested in joining a bunch of folks who are passionate about families of kids with special needs coming to know and love Jesus Christ?  An event in which any church leader, volunteer or parent anywhere in the world who shares the same passion and has access to the Internet through a computer, tablet or smart phone can join in? That’s Inclusion Fusion. Register here for the Special Needs Ministry Web Summit, coming this November 3rd-5th.
