I am struck by the scene described in Luke 19 when Jesus approached the city of Jerusalem and wept over it. He so wanted the people to understand His love for them and the difference He could make in their lives. There are days that I am moved when I look over our city, people rushing around oblivious to the amazing love of Jesus. So, we are doing our best to reveal His love everywhere we can. Here are some of the latest expressions from our Capital family to our city:
CHARACTER COMBINE
Over 700 coaches and athletes gathered two weeks ago day to receive inspiration from Jason Harper, Jamie Whitmore (three-time triathlon champion and a cancer survivor), Kevin Bracy (nationally recognized motivational speaker), Troy Ellerman (author of Forging Iron), Mark Munoz (Ultimate Fighting Champion), Jerry Manuel (former Major League Baseball manager for the White Sox and Mets), Anthony Robles (NCAA wrestling champion born without one leg). It was an amazing day of giving love to our community so they can pass it on in their areas of influence.
EVENING OF DREAMS
This Saturday we will host a prom for 150 special needs individuals. Each person has been matched with an escort to the prom from athletes and students around our community. It is going to be an amazing experience of making dreams come true.
RACE ACROSS AMERICA
Four men from our Capital family will be riding bicycles over 3,000 miles with a mission in mind. Their monumental effort will raise awareness for charitable giving to the cause of hunger, clean water, and education around the world. They will be featured on Good Day Sacramento from 6:30am to 10:00am next Thursday.
These are just a few of the many expressions of love to our community. I love the heart of our Capital family to express the love of Jesus in every way possible. Great days ahead!
Sunday we will hear from the leaders of our youth ministry. It is a special day to focus on children and students of all ages. It is great to see the commitment our youth have to loving Jesus. We will cap off the day with our annual spring children’s musical “Lifesong.”
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
