1,048 Points of light

Be a Point of Light

1000 Points of Light is an intentional initiative created to help us shift our perspective and open our eyes to the everyday opportunities that God sets before each and every one us.
 
Between May and September, our hope is to make 1000 intentional points of light in our community and around the world. 
 
A point of light is any action that shares the love of Jesus by encouraging, supporting, praying, loving, or giving to someone in need that day.
 
So whether you, encourage a stranger, help your neighbor, support a co-worker, pray for a family member or lead someone in making a life changing decision to follow Jesus Christ, do it with intentionality and purpose, knowing that you are being a light in the darkness. 
 
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. 
John 1:5

I bought dinner for a homeless man and prayed for him

I saw a child change their attitude because of the Bible story taught about Martha and Mary on day one of VBS.

Christ’s Ambassador

I preached for a Pastor friend in one of their Summer programs. Now, that is what I normally like to do, but the reason am entering this ‘point of light’ was that on that weekend, I had to make a decision to be without my family since this program was in a different city. My family also sacrificed as they had to be without me for the weekend.

An older Woman walking by needed directions so I chatted with her for a while, as well as got a drink for her and her dog.

Gave a donation to a single mother asking for money at the groceries store

Helped a friend move out on her own, away from an emotional & physical abuse. I bless her with encouragement.

Tanya

I met a woman in a local womens shelter last year that we both had the unfortunate experience of staying in. We didn’t necessarily get along all that well while we were there but we became acquaintances through social media. Earlier this year we started talking more and she expressed her prior commitment to the Lord and her desire to serve Him again. She told me about her deviation from the Lord and his word and worship, I invited her to join my children and I at WPA . Shortly thereafter she began attending with us weekly. She later thanked me for being that outlet for God and bringing her back to God and His place of worship.

I took a significant amount of time this summer to prepare to volunteer for Welcome Home. I had to get a police check, do an interview, file an application, and attend a training event. I am looking forward to being able to finally volunteer with them.

I saw kids at VBS remembering previous bible studies, and being excited to learn more.

I drove a lady to St Clements to have her parrot’s nail’s clipped. She had no way of getting there.

I felt God calling me to ministry in my school. He did this by placing the idea of starting a Bible study. I took the leap and now I find myself leading a group of 8 people into scripture based devotionals. So now I can be a point of light at my school.

I delivered Bsdmatt to refugees.
