Small Church Gives It All Away

"The Filling Station is a unique name for a small church that is doing things in a big way.
Like all small churches, the 30-member congregation in Westlake, California, dreamed of future growth and slowly collected $75,000 in a special building fund. But in an instant, they gave it all away. Every penny went to help rebuild a church in Sudan that had been destroyed during the nation’s brutal civil war.
“The Lord put it on our hearts that we really didn’t need a building,” said Steve Ridinger, pastor of The Filling Station. “We’re beginning to think globally in terms of God’s kingdom, asking ourselves, is there really a need for us to be doing this or that here in our own back yard, or is there a greater need somewhere else?”
The answer to that question arrived in their mailbox."
Go read the story, "Small Church, Big Heart." And see how one little church made big changes for a group of people who have lost so much.
