God's Small Platoons

Chuck Colson often said that God's work in this world gets done by His "small platoons." A platoon in military parlance is a tactical operating unit typically of 40-60 soldiers. Capital Park Wesleyan of Salem is one such small platoon. 

Recently they held a mortgage-burning ceremony to mark the payoff of a $419,000 mortgage that the church had taken out 17 years ago when it had only 100 members. The purpose was to build a community center for its use and for the surrounding lower income neighborhood. It has worked like a champ and is now an integral part of the neighborhood fabric.

Nicely done Capital Park and the other 60 churches in the Salem area doing the same thing!
