Social Experiment : when lightning strikes

August 22, 2008


The Social Experiment: the distribution of 30 Moleskine journals to 30 Catalyst leaders that include 30 service projects and 30 names on a list. We challenged the Catalyst community to complete one project within 24 hours of receiving the package and send it on to the next person on the list.  As the Social Experiment moleskine journals begin landing in the hands of various Catalysts around the country, people are becoming victims of these random acts of kindness.  Here is another story of Christ's love from Jeff Sawyer in Houston, TX...

Hello. My name is jeff sawyer. I'm the children's pastor at Cy-fair Christian Church in Houston, TX. I just passed the journal sent to me on to the next person.

I looked through the suggestions in the journal. . .so many good ideas. We decided to do our own project. There is a family in our community that just recently lost their home in a fire after lightning struck it. The family made it out okay, but lost all their belongings. They left town this week on vacation. One of our team wanted to do something to be a blessing to this family, so we organized a crew to come in to do some clean-up and landscaping, while they are gone. Our group is gathering in the morning.

What a privilege to be used by God to bless others.

Thanks for the challenge to impact our world in this way,

Jeff
