After hearing Neil’s sermon on the importance of being a 2nd mile Christian, especially during this crisis, I put together toys and tulips for my neighbors here in Vail, Colorado. I enclosed a letter in each basket letting them know I was praying for them, and I also invited them to join in on Sunday service online with our local church in the Vail Valley.
I have been wanting to do something like this, and listening to Neil's sermon gave me the push I needed to take action. I am blessed, and thank you for the encouragement, Foothills!
