The Joy of Giving (3 of 4)

Malachi 3:7-12
We are doing a yearlong challenge in our church in 2020. We are challenging you to share the story of Christ's love with friends, co-workers, and family members who don't know Christ. When you do, we invite you to drop a ping-pong ball into the container, if you will. Our church hopes to see 5,000 of these by Thanksgiving. You'll be hearing about this effort all year long. We'll train you and equip you. Now, there's a volunteer located outside the worship center this morning. Will you join me in adopting your one person to share the gospel? Will you join me in praying constantly for our church's effort?
Also, today is a great Sunday to find a Bible Fellowship Group as we have some wonderful people to assist you. Let this be on-ramp for you to get connected with a group or maybe try out a new group. You'll find this right outside the worship center.
I had a great message planned for this Sunday but the Houston Astros stole it .
More seriously, I want you to hear the remarkable and heartwarming story about two police officers separated by 3,000 miles. Michael's first day in uniform was a day he would always remember. A man walked into his village's police station and pointed a gun at him. The rookie cop ran behind the desk to grab some pepper spray, the strongest weapon that the officers of his little town in Alaska had at their disposal. There's three things you should know about the small village called Savoonga (Sa voon ga): 1) it's situated in the middle the Bearing Sea; 2) the village is located closer to Russia than it is Alaska; 3) and it's really poor. Michael didn't draw his gun when confronted with an armed perpetrator because the village cannot afford to arm their officers. This past May, a patrol officer in Davenport, Iowa sat reading about the plight of his brothers in blue 3,000 miles away from Alaska and he was shocked to hear the story of Michael's first day.
