Living life on mission is a familiar idea if you’ve been around ROCKHARBOR for any amount of time. At ROCKHARBOR South County, we are especially excited about the opportunity we have to reach those in our community and form new relationships that may ultimately draw others to Jesus Christ. This has been happening in many ways in and around RH South County, such as one cool experience recently.
One of the people working our concierge table had a unique encounter with a lady who approached the table and began asking some general questions about South County, such as: who we are, why we’re here, and so on. The concierge at that table answered her questions and then asked if she had ever been there before. She said no, but mentioned that she heard about us in a pretty interesting way.
“I purchased a bookcase from the Goodwill store in Aliso Viejo,” she said. “After buying it I realized I had no way to get it home, even though it was only a couple of blocks away.”
“Then, I noticed a man with a truck outside the store and asked him if he would be willing to deliver the bookcase to my house for $10 dollars. He agreed to deliver the bookcase, but refused the payment,” she said.
“I was surprised and asked why, but the man simply said that he just wanted to help me for free,” she said. He went on to say he was part of a faith community that met in Laguna Hills High School on Sunday mornings. His faith community has been looking to serve in the area and share Jesus’ love with others.
She was so impressed with the man’s servant heart that she had to come see what this whole South County thing was about.
This is an awesome display of people at South County being the hands and feet of Jesus to those living in our community. Showing Jesus’ love in tangible ways, even simple and practical ways, can have a huge impact on people. Our willingness to serve others allows God to work through us and effectively draw people into our faith community in South County. So often it’s so simple.
