Off The Top of My Head
"Invested People"
by Pastor Dave Gibson |
"You know you are invested
when you pull in and turn off
the gas pump light." |
|
Kathi and I served for 8 years with a mission group in Alaska. Our mission had a "compound" of sorts in a small Alaskan town. In the area of our compound we had a radio station, a Bible College, a hospital, an admin building, a guest house, many missionary homes, and a maintenance compound. In the middle of the maintenance compound we had a gas pump where we could buy gas since we were so far away from commercial places to buy gas. On a pole above that gas pump was a huge halogen light that had to be turned on and off manually. When you pulled up to get fuel at night you could turn on the light and fuel up and then turn off the light-something that was drilled into all of us as a cost saving measure-and then drive off. Predictably quite often someone forgot to turn off the light. I would occasionally drive past the pump at night and see the light on and just head on home. One night, after maybe a year of so with the mission, I drove past the pump, saw the light on, turned into the maintenance compound, and turned off the light. That was the night that I realized that I had become "invested" in our mission. The work of the mission and the people of the mission and the finances of the mission and the impact of the mission mattered to me. It mattered to me in the big things so that I did my work as a college instructor diligently and it mattered to me in the little things so that I would pull in and turn off the fuel pump light. It is invested people who are making most of the impact and having most of the fun. CBC has a history, a DNA, and a value for being full of invested people. This church was started by people who went the extra eight miles to make it happen.
