One thing that has amazed me is the kaleidoscope of Christian expression that has come out of the people we were originally sitting in pews with before leaving. Some started doing gift cards as a way of starting micro business's. Others got involved with the city mission and helping the poor. Another couple started bringing Chinese students into their home and caring for them. Some of us have got involved with helping offenders and those in drug addiction. Some more got involved with people with disabilities. As mentioned in my previous post one couple have given everything up and changed countries to encourage the starting of Simple Churches in Asia.
One of the more interesting expressions of Christian actions has been under taken by a friend of ours who look after a Simple Church down the road from us in Albany. They feel led to design a new flag for New Zealand and are part of a growing ground swell to see a change to what is viewed by many as an outdated New Zealand flag.
