Yesterday Pastor Ray had the chance to sit down with President and CEO of Compassion International, Jimmy “Santiago” Mellado about the impact of 2020 on the global poor, and the hunger crisis no one is talking about in the media. In light of that, Pastor Ray, Thrive, and Bayside Church are teaming up with Compassion International to stand in the gap for nearly 70,000 children and families in crisis due to the pandemic, and we need your church to join the team. Right now, children around the world living in poverty are facing unimaginable circumstances as a result of the global pandemic. They are facing shutdowns and restrictions like we are, but without any safety net. Fill the Stadium is a pro-athlete led initiative raising critical resources for 70,000 children and their families impacted by 2020. Every empty seat represents one child who needs support for the critical next 12 months. Ready to help? Click here: https://fillthestadium.com/churches

Join me as I interview special guest, Chad Veach, Pastor of Zoe Church and author of, "Help! I Work With People." In his book, he talks about how often times we say, "I'd love my church if it weren't for the people," or "I'd love my job if it weren't for the people!" But we need to flip that around and start loving the people God has entrusted to us, there's nothing that God loves more than people!
