Our CCDA Cohort 6 met last night at the home of one of our cohort members who lives in Memphis. There is amazing good news coming out of the home of Don and Linda, and it was so fun to see the creative ways they are welcoming the neighborhood into their home.
Our cohort of about 35 members and spouses was seated in the garage that's been converted to "community center". White boards, tables, large screen TV,...This place serves as meeting room, a Tuesday tutoring center, a fellowship hall. Last night, it was exquisitely decorated and set up as an Italian restaurant complete with top notch servers who are all a part of the ministry happening in and around that household.
Don. Linda, and their children have several others living with them in their home, and the sense of Jesus and community and unified mission was palpable. Don and Linda even put a big screened in gazebo in the front yard to serve as their 'porch' space for neighbors to gather.
I looked around last night when the decibels in the garage got so loud that I could hardly hear the friend seated next to me. It was so excellent to be together and to observe so many robust conversations happening around this table of family.
Keep loving people in the love and name of Jesus, Don and Linda! Your enthusiastic witness in word and deed is such a testimony to this New Thing that God is doing!
