Last week I told you about Liquid Church’s plan to break a Guinness World Record and assemble 12,000 items into 1,200 hunger relief kits for a local distribution hub for donated and federal food aid.
And it was a success!
There are so many awesome dimensions to this story:
- Kids attending the church’s creative arts camp took part
- The church put their faith into action
- They helped those in need by helping an organization in the community
- The word spread about their awesome act of love
- And they had fun doing it!
Earlier today I had a chance to talk with Kenny Jahng, Pastor of Media & Innovation and Church Online Pastor of Liquid Church, and hear more about this awesome and successful event that is full of great church marketing:

Another thing I love about what Liquid Church did, is that any church and do it. Set a Guinness World Record? Maybe not, but you can be just as creative and fun in everything you do.
What an amazing event this was! 😀

Reminds me of things mentioned in this new book, “American Gothic Church: Changing the Way People See the Church”. Interesting new book on changing the way the un-churched see the church. This author suggests that the mental picture people outside of the church have for Christians is similar to the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood with the man holding pitchfork standing beside his daughter. They see the church as judgmental, out of touch, strict and irrelevant. He suggests that this perception must be addressed and changed by being an encouraging, joyful, and compassionate people.
