God loves the smell of our sweat. I know that's a strange thought. And please keep using deodorant. But I think it's true. We have a core value at NCC: work like it depends on you and pray like it depends on God. God loves the sound of our voices when we are singing praises to Him. But I also think he loves the smell of our sweat when we are serving Him. Service is how we love God with all of our strength.
Our team has been working like dogs for months. And that's what 1000+ volunteers will do at the Convoy of Hope on Saturday, September 6. We are going to roll up our sleeves and bless the socks off our community. I honestly think, quantitatively, it'll be the biggest outreach event we've ever done. We're expecting 10,000+ guests.
If you're a local, and you want to serve, here is some 411.

"Service is how we love God with all of our strength."

I got your book in the mail from Catalyst, thanks so much!!!
I have a friend with the gift of serving who says that if he didn't sweat, then he didn't worship.
Thanks Mark for articulating this so well ... "work like it depends on you and pray like it depends on God."
I have just sent your blog to our 70 volunteers who are sweating it out this weekend for Dadfest08!
