What's God Sod?

God Sod is what we're calling the grass 30 volunteers from inside and outside Toledo First installed on Day 2 of our Mission Trip to Toledo.
The money to purchase the grass was provided by Toledo First and Adventists across Ohio who gave a special offering collected during Camp Meeting on June 16, 2007.

We thought it would take FOREVER, but it actually took longer for the sod to arrive than it did for us to install it [our small army was there at 8:00 am, but had to wait for the semi to arrive until 10:30 am].

Yes, hydroseed would have been $1,000 cheaper. But it would've robbed Joshua and bunch of other people of the unforgettable opportunity to serve people with no strings attached.
You think that's worth it?

This is an awesome expression of love and care extended to a segment of the Toledo community in the name of Jesus. Thank you for your vision and passion to involve your church in "leaving the building."

Mission Trip to Toledo's loving vision with passionate implementation reminds me of Mother Teresa's statement that, "Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace."

Way to Go!
