Being ON-MISSION is about people. Meeting them where they live, building relationships, and loving them. These are tough times but in the midst of it you can do good and live well. Here are some examples from a recent news article: (I love the prom dress idea for our area. Now where could you store those things?) Get creative and spend some time loving on others.
*Bob McIntire, owner of McIntire's Florist in Fulton, Mo., surprises one, two or three people a week with free bouquets. Residents send in nominations and staff pick names out of a box.
The unexpected deliveries might be good advertising, he says, and "in these days of doom and gloom, we're just trying to brighten up people's days."
*Scott Haag, CEO of Moore Oil in Milwaukee, is offering his 75 workers $2,000 toward a new car and $1,000 for a used car. Four have taken his offer. In addition to his workers, Haag says he wants to help auto dealers, who are among his customers.
*In Santa Cruz, Calif., Councilman Tony Madrigal started a prom-dress drive for young women who can't afford gowns. Local businesses joined, offering free dry cleaning and hair styling. An Elks Lodge is collecting shoes.
*Rose Duca and a fellow staffer at Milford High School in Milford, Mass., are collecting prom dresses to loan to students. Thirty dresses have been donated.
