Revolutionary Response – How is God Changing You?

Every week at Connexus, people sacrifically serve and give to create environments where people can enter a growing relationship with Jesus.  At some point, I'm sure that every single person who has given or sacrificed for this mission has asked this question: is my contribution making a difference?  Is God actually using it to change lives?

On Sunday, we asked people at the Barrie campus: "Tell us in a few sentences how God has changed your life through the ministry at Connexus." Here's just a sample from the responses we heard on Sunday:


"From an agnostic to a believer."

"This has opened my eyes to the heart of God and his love for me."

"Best year of my life."

"My children, my husband and I like church."

"I've become a more loving, giving person.  Found Jesus."

"A chance to learn about grace all over again."

"I'm a part of something big…to share God's love."

"Challenged me to look at the selfishness in my life."

"First time here.  I'll be back."

"Opened the door to God to begin to trust him, share with others."

"Made me think that there's more to life than I thought."

"Challenging preconceived ideas about church."

"More outward focused."

"Sponsored a little girl in Kenya who died of malaria at age 9.  Thank you for what you are doing."

And this is just a sampling of what we heard.

Every single comment has a story attached to it.  Every story is a life. 

To God, for His incredible grace, I'm so thankful.  And to all of you who make this happen week in and week out – thank you!

We'd love to hear more…what is God doing in you?
