St. Paul United Methodist at Martindale-Brightwood was my first stop. The Pastor of the church just started 2 weeks ago and he was very happy to host the day. Several churches and ministries were present such as Impact Movement, Habitat for Humanity and Youth/Children Ministries.

I had a chance to call back our Pendleton/Anderson Area Coordinator, Facundo Cortez. He reported that there was shooting in Pendleton that involved an Anderson and Pendleton Policemen. It was a tragic event that took 2 lives and a K9 police dog. The “Honoring Hometown Heroes” today at 11am, Saturday, July 28th is expected to draw more media because of the incident.

I have been following the progress of “There’s Hope” project and they are coming along very well with the installation of siding on the garage. It’s humbling to see that I am a part of a task that could change the perspectives of a family through the practical expression of God’s love for them.

My next stop was at the Storehouse Ministries where they already constructed several movable shelving for future growth. You can hear the live conversation with Paula, this ministry’s leader.

On my way to the Living Water Project in Franklin, the much needed rain poured down. It has been so hot and dry in Central Indiana that the down pour was appreciated by everyone. At this homeless ministry, I was given a tour of the progress of the project. They have already installed the cabinets that were donated to them late last week.

I received a report from our West side Area that the Firemen Outreach went well. They gave them gifts and thanked them for their services. Lastly, our Martinsville area had their evangelistic concert, Ignite and reached the local neighborhoods for Christ.

This has been an eventful day! What we do matters and can impact people’s lives.
