One Question with Pastor Dino Rizzo

I am very honored to be able to host my friend Pastor Dino Rizzo and his blog tour for his book, Servolution: Starting a Church Revolution through Serving (Leadership Network Innovation Series).  I had the opportunity to ask Dino one question that I thought would inspire you and give you a sneak peak into his heart:

Me:
Dino, the thing that blows me away about Servolution is how much YOU own it.  In fact, what has Servolution looked like THIS week at HPC?

Dino:
Shawn – it’s an honor to have someone like you be a part of this tour.  You’re such a great writer and I have enjoyed your book 200 Pomegranates and an Audience of One tremendously.  Thanks for doing what you do for the Kingdom.

Servolution this week at Healing Place Church… well, it certainly doesn’t stop.  It isn’t something we have set aside until another 7 Days of Servolution.  We can’t do that because the needs of the poor and hurting don’t stop.  Yesterday, one of our pastors was at the hospital visiting a lady who was badly burned.  This morning, some of our young people went and served breakfast to some homeless people downtown.  Earlier this week, we had a team serve at a nursing home. We have about 20 college students and young adults who just landed in Mozambique, going to serve the poor and hurting in the community surrounding our campus there.  Today, people have already come by our pantry to pick up food.

Here’s the point… Jesus told us that we’d always have the poor among us.  And because that’s true, the need to serve them–the opportunity to serve them–is with us all the time.  Jesus loves the poor and we have learned that if you want to be where He likes to be, go where there are people in need. You’ll find Him there.
