We didn't know Keith and Helen, well we had met via zoom once, and by email about 50 times.
Keith and Helen wanted to come to France from England, on I guess what you would call a serving vacation.
So they drove and ferried their way down. They helped with church, had coffee with a bunch of people, came to a barbecue, prayed over our town, and did quite well linguistically.
Keith and Helen are just two normal people who dared to come see us and our friends in faith.
The first Sunday they were here church had a very low attendance. It was a bummer. The rest of the time? Better.
But then I thought.
Who do I have to impress?
Keith and Helen?
They didn't need to be impressed. They just wanted to be real people, and we were happy to be real with them.
This church which we are currently anchored to isn't going to knock your socks off. It doesn't have to. It doesn't exist for me. It exists for God and I'm not sure he wears socks.
Keith and Helen were a really cool retired couple who made an impact.
Be really cool people who make an impact.
Thanks K&H. We appreciate you.
If you want to come for a visit. Let us know. We love sharing time and space with people.
