The New Life SDA Church, from Defuniak Springs, Florida, held a different kind of community outreach on Sunday, September 18. The church's youth groups offered drivers a free car wash and the opportunity to pray with them. But this was only one of the activities that marked New Life's Impact calendar. They gave out bottles of fresh water at a local park, offered a special dinner at the church for the Fire and Sheriff's departments and assisted the elderly with yard cleaning.

New Life's pastor, Omar Montilla, who was washing cars with the youth, said people were quite surprised once they realized they were doing this for free and as a way of showing God's love and serving nature. A perception experienced not only for those who received the service, but also for the ones serving. "Many of the kids washing cars here with us are not even members of the church, they are members of our Pathfinders and Adventure's Clubs, and we are just happy to let them know that Jesus loves them and that Jesus takes care of them."
