Gas Pains

Price of gas got you down? Us too! And if we feel that way, we figure all of Cheyenne does as well. SO we are going to provide a gas buy down for the community. Grant has had 2 GREAT conversations with the managers of Big D Oil (gas stations) here in Cheyenne. They are totally on board with what we are doing. Saturday, May 26th, we'll be paying the price of gas down by 25 cents per gallon. We'll pump the gas and wash windshields. We'll then give them a connection card that will point them to our church web-site.

We got the idea from another church planter we met at church planters boot camp. I asked him what the return was on the investment. Did anyone come attend church out of it. He told me a great story. I won't take the time to tell you all the details but I'll give you the BIG stuff. The manager of the gas station was Indian and a Hindu. He loved the idea from day one. In the process of the gas buy down Mike (church planter) asked him if they went to church anywhere. He said "We don't but can we be a part of your church?" He was so blown away that a church would do something like that, that he brought his whole family to Elk Creek church. They got saved and are a major part of that churches launching process. They are bringing other family and friends who are being taught about Christ as well. Really cool. Anyway, we loved the idea from the day we heard about it and think it's a great way to serve the people of Cheyenne.

We could definitely use some help from anyone at HPCC who would want to come down for that day. We'll be doing the buy down in the afternoon. 1 - 3 PM or 1-5 PM. Something like that. Haven't nailed down timing details yet.

Following Christ,

Jeff
