It would be lovely if you could visit the CO SERVE office in Birmingham, AL, one day. As you toured the office, you would, of course, see desks, computers, a kitchen, and a conference room, but you would also see a wall covered by a world map and little red and blue pins. The blue dots represent CO locations with teams, staff, and church partnerships. The red dots represent the requests from churches worldwide that have asked for help reaching the next generation of leaders in their locations. As we investigate these churches for future expansion, we make sure there is strong leadership, a great sense of collaboration, and established relationships with others. This ensures that our visions are aligned and that they will be great partners with us in reaching their city with the gospel. Let’s say that the red dots represent our to-do list — we want to help all the blue dots work together to turn the red dots blue. Then, we want to help the blue dots find more red dots in their area to help fill the map with blue dots until Jesus returns.  

Last week two dots were changed from red to blue, and the staff celebrated with the families launching to Edinburgh, Scotland and Athens, Greece. Please take a minute to watch and rejoice with us! Just click on the video below.
