I couldn't wait to share with all of you a story of life-change that I got to be a part of. Over the past few weeks, we've been doing our "5 Weeks of Service" every Saturday mobilizing a couple hundred Next Level Church attenders to serve our community in various ways each week!
It's been so incredible! So today, one of the 4 places that our teams went was to Doug Morris's house! Doug is a single dad raising 3 kids on his own. Doug has been apart of NLC for like 4 years and brings his kids faithfully to NLC every single week! Doug works hard just to put food on the table for his family.
So when the NLC community service team showed up to give his house an "NLC Extreme Home Makeover" he was blown away. In 1 day, the NLC team completely ripped up the entire living room and kitchen floor, and the 2 kid's bedrooms! They repainted the entire interior of the house, put up a Cars border in the boys room, and princess wallpaper in the girl's room! They patched a hole in the side of the house and replaced rotted floor boards in the kitchen under the refrigerator!
Then... with Tile and Hardwood that was donated by an EXTREMELY GENEROUS BUSINESS OWNER in our church, they gave the family beautiful new flooring throughout the 2 kids bedrooms and the living area!
What the NLC community service team did is absolutely life changing for Doug and his family!
And this is just 1 of the many projects that NLC has been doing to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of people across Southwest Florida!
I am so proud of all of you who have given your time, talent and treasure this Christmas Season to make a difference. I am blown away that I get to be your pastor!
Thanks for making the season bright for so many,
Pastor Matt
