Have to share this for the graceway folks
We were asked at Brahmanbaria by the local "church group" for ideas as to how they could better reach their communities.
Many people suggested Coffee nights and food banks etc - which is very nice but the group is as poor as the people they serve - one pastor even commented quite tongue in cheek "your church must be wealthy" to the suggestion of cooking meals for homeless people
When we came round the group to me I told them about the trips to Mount Wellington to pick up rubbish - cos we believe that the earth should be treated as precious and this could be a great service to the community
There was immediate discussion amongst those presetn and this Sunday they are going to do it
Just like that - they absolutely loved it!
I was so stoked to take a little piece of Graceway and now it is residing in a community group in Brahmanbaria, Bangladesh.
