Odd Beginnings


It's an exihilerating blast when you finally get in the boat and begin to head down stream. The journey has begun.

The thing with some journeys that God calls us to take is that they simply are not easy. Actually that may be the case with almost all of them. So, in actuality this one may be like getting in a boat and going upstream instead of down.

As Kaleo Nashville we believe that when we truly begin to act like the people of God and begin to not just dream but actually live as people who are citizens of heaven, we will look pretty ridiculous to the rest of the world.

We are on a jounrney to truly Know our GOD. And when we really begin to know who our God is we begin to look and act and do things differently.
I think this past Saturday many of us learned more about our God as we took actions of love toward others expecting nothing in return.
...Yeah we looked a little odd.

But often the kingdom of God looks just like that... odd.

Prayer

So the official kick-off weekend for Kaleo Nashville is fastly approaching!
September 12th and 13th. As we go into this final week before things actually begin we move forward with a spirit of humility. Humbleness in seeing how God has brought us this far and how faithful He has been in leading us. It is exciting to think that the dream He has so long placed in our hearts is finally coming to fruit in many ways.
So, for this next week especially we are asking for your prayer.

-Prayer that God will truly use us as a body to bless the city of Nashville not only this next Saturday, but from then onward.
-That the weather would be nice as we plan to be mowing people's grass and picking up trash and washing cars...
-That all the preparations that are happening would continue smoothly.
-That we will have all the supplies and equipment we need to bless Nashville on Saturday the 12th.
-That God would be glorified in it all!

Thank you for your prayers! If possible come and join KaleoNashville and other volunteers who plan to spend Saturday the 12th of Sept. blessing the city of Nashville.
