An Overview of LoveLookout (including thoughts from Sociology professor, Dr. Jack Muller)

Thanks to everyone who participated in LoveLookout! We wanted to give an overview of the event, hosted by Andreas and Mac.

More than 70 students showed up to serve at the various locations, including faculty and staff's homes, Fairyland Elementary School, CCS, and Hope for the Inner City. Chris Stern told us that he has received numerous emails of gratitude for the work and wonderful servant's hearts portrayed in the students.

The hope for this event was that students would serve out of a genuine desire to bring glory to Christ and not themselves. Chris said, "We felt this was true of our students and were thrilled that they were able to reflect Christ’s love to those in our surrounding community!"

Sociology professor Jack Muller was one of the recipients of the students' hard work and servant hearts. The front of his house was damaged by a fallen tree during the thunderstorms the week before LoveLookout. He contacted Chris, asking for help. On Saturday morning, Mike Bittenbender, Matt Bristley, Davey Hoffman, and Bryan Zumbach arrived. They worked hard clearing away tree limbs from Dr. Muller's house as well as 3 other houses in the neighborhood. Dr. Muller praised their efforts and good attitudes, and added that through conversing with them, he found out that he had been a professor to three of the guys' parents when they were at Covenant.

To all of the students who participated in LoveLookout this year: Thank you for creating goodwill on the mountain and being the hands and feet of Christ to our neighbors. Dr. Muller and others hope that "it will be a plan that will continue to re-invent itself in the future."

Thanks again for serving Jesus in this way!
