Reaching out, making a difference


Saturday, Oct. 27, volunteers from the Assemblies of God headquarters, Evangel University and Central Assembly of God in Springfield, Mo., partnered with Convoy of Hope for a neighborhood outreach in observance of Make A Difference Day.

About 2,700 guests were in attendance. Volunteers distributed 2,500 bags of groceries and prayed with more than 1,000 guests.

Make A Difference Day is a national day of helping others. The annual event, created by "USA Weekend," takes place the on the fourth Saturday of every October. In 2006, more than 3 million people participated in various projects nationwide.

If you, your church or business participated in this year’s Make A Difference Day, tell us about it. We’d love to hear how you are making a difference in your community.
