One who is seeking to make an impact for the kingdom must be willing to take one many shapes and sizes in order to reach lost people; that is one of the many things I have learned from Bob Hewlett during our interview in class. Bob is a very systematic man who has a set way of doing thing and he does them very well. I thought it was interesting that he uses the method of service to local schools, businesses, groups, and places in order to provide them with an open door to church. In a world who doesn’t know who Jesus is Bob is providing services to the community in a way that puts money where the church’s mouth is. Christians in this generation are charged with the crime of hypocrisy because we speak so much about helping people but never act upon it. Bob is doing this and it makes a lot of sense when you think about planning your resources so they help the non-Christian world to see a better picture of Christ and to also provide them with love and service that they find easy to connect to. Overall, I enjoyed his interaction with our questions and I hope his church is a success in the Downingtown area. I believe it takes his passion combined with a mentality that is open for adaption in conjunction with a heart after Jesus and that creates a successful church plant.
