Here is one of your best opportunities all year to serve the community! Bring your family, your friends and your small groups. If you liked Risk Love, you’ll definitely want to check this out! This will be a fantastic highlight event in your lifestyle of serving others–investing relationally and giving generously. Go to the ServeFest website (
The posts on this blog keep repeating things like “serving should be our lifestyle” and serving “24-7-365.” These themes come from our annual serving event we’ve done the past 3 years called Risk Love. It has been great to see many LifePointers take this challenge seriously. We’ve even seen some new outreach ministries start up as a result! That’s really taking the “invests relationally” part of being a Christ-like Influencer to a new level!
And now, here is a great opportunity to help you as you invest relationally and serve others. Brian Fikkert is the co-author of a book we love here at LifePoint Church. The book is When Helping Hurts. In our own outreach ministries we follow the Biblical principles found in this book. Below is information about a seminar where Brian Fikkert will be speaking on this topic at a church here in Baltimore! We highly recommend that you attend this seminar.
The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO) does an incredible job with their annual conference! Legacy Orphan Ministry highly recommends this conference to all and encourages you to seriously consider going this year. Whether you’re just learning about orphans, supporting the cause or considering foster care or adoption, this conference will educate, motivate and inspire you! Legacy is coordinating a group to go from LifePoint. For more information, see the details below this great video of Francis Chan talking about the Summit.
the pasture to the purple crocus flowers in the yard and the daylight stretching into evening. Soon the ground will be warm enough to plant, and the farmers can hardly wait!! By early April we will plant 34 acres of potatoes alone, and shortly thereafter the kale, collards, lettuce and spinach seeds will be sown. Heeding the spiritual truth, recently reinforced in Joe’s message that the Christ-like Influencer gives generously, the farmers intend to sow abundantly with the anticipation that God will provide an abundant harvest to reap in due time. All of the harvest at First Fruits Farm is donated to the hungry through distribution at food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. In 2012, the harvest amounted to over 1,200,000 lbs. of fresh produce delivered to those in need – green beans, potatoes, sweet corn, apples, tomatoes, peppers, onions, squash, cabbage…and the list goes on. Consider serving at the farm this coming growing season. Starting in mid-May, the need for helping hands at the farm is continuous until early November. All ages and stages are welcome at the farm, including LifePoint Small Groups, families, individuals, students, community groups, and other ministry teams. The farm is where the community comes together to serve the hungry, make new friends, and revel in the glory of God’s creation. Visit

LifePoint Church is privileged to be partners with some brothers and sisters in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine. You may recall Pastor Sergii Sizonenko of Central Baptist Church and Slava Iotko of Alpha and Omega Campus Ministry visiting us over the summer last year. We introduced them on stage as our partners in Ukraine. We’re getting close to launching our orphan graduate program with them!
