Crawlin' with a purpose...


One of the cool things I get to experience is watching people jump on the mission that Christ has called us to. I have had the privilege to hang out with some incredible guys that are passion about "muddin'/crawling" and also their relationship with Christ.

Recently the group's name and mission, "Crawlers 4 Christ", was birthed out of these two passions. It consist of a few guys from The Commons and from a few other churches. Their desire is to reach out to people with the love of Christ and to build community around one of their favorite hobbies. It's totally legit with cards to hand out and everything. It has just been pretty cool just watching it form through all the talk and rides that I have been own with these guys.

The other day as the group was leaving the trails, we met a guy who was needing help with his 4x4 truck. The guys spent and additional 2 hours in the dark trying to fix the truck so that he could get home. They met his physical needs and also talked to him about Christ as well. The guy was super thankful because most people wouldn't have stopped and taken the time due to fear of being tricked or robbed (the trails can be a shady place). As mentioned earlier, it is just a cool privilege to be around guys from The Commons and other churches that have a passion for Christ and to help others. God is doing great things here in Arlington, WA.
