***We’re in need of bakers. If you’d like to bake 3 dozen cookies to contribute to the meal, let us know at jason@journeykc.com. We’ll even take them down there on Saturday if you can’t make it. It’s a great way for you to get involved even if you can’t be there.***

Do you deliver? Bob Sapp does every Sunday morning as he brings a church service to the residents of Kendallwood Assisting Living in Gladstone, Missouri from 8:30-9:30. He said it all started when hear heard the call of God to preach His word. ” You have to have an outlet for that. It’s either stand on a street corner and shout it or this. People are much more receptive in this type of setting. ” Bob explains.

He started the church service at Kendallwood over 3 years ago, just a few weeks after moving his family to the KC area from Houston. Providing a church service in this way just felt natural to Bob. He did it for many years with first, leading worship, then preaching on occasion. “Then, the guy who was preaching couldn’t do it anymore, so I just sort of took over preaching”.
That preaching has helped hold him accountable to consistently reading his Bible to prepare for messages. “It’s really kept me meditating on the Word, trying to hear from God ” acknowledges Bob. “An added benefit is that I’ve stayed consistent with my guitar playing, and been able to develop my worship talents.” With his current setup, he leads worship for thirty minutes and preaches for the other thirty.

It’s evident Bob’s heart has really been touched by what God has been using him for in this setting. “I mean, these are people who have gone to church their whole lives- a lot of them- and they were missing it” said Bob. Thankfully, Bob answered God’s call and brings church to those who can’t venture out. “I always get more out of it, I’m sure, than they do.” he explains. “You get to meet an entirely different population than you normally would.”
Now would be a great time for you to get involved. Bob explains “It’ s about as safe of an environment for someone to develop what they believe God is calling them to that I can imagine.” You could come help with worship time, teach a message, or share a story/testimony. Another way to participate would be just to come out and meet the residents during and after the service, help people to their seats, sit by them and help them find hymns in the book. Bob says that families are more than welcome.
