Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kindness Explosion?
A Kindness Explosion happens when several community churches get together to
show God’s love to the city together through servant evangelism projects. The idea
is to saturate the city that day with God’s love!
What will the weekend look like? (how much time is involved?)
This is a sample event schedule, but you can work it to fit with your community:
Friday 7pm
KICK-OFF
This will be a fun time to come together as churches, see who’s involved, worship
and pray together, and remind ourselves why we’re doing this!
Saturday 10:00am – 1:00pm (approx.)
KINDNESS EXPLOSION
Together as churches, blitzing the city with God’s love through the projects we’ve
planned.
Saturday 7pm
WORSHIP CELEBRATION
We’ll gather in unity to worship through music (led by several community worship
leaders) and through other creative arts.
Where can I get ideas for servant evangelism projects?

Who pays for the T-shirts and other costs?
We want to make the event do-able for anyone, and feel that if the church takes
ownership of the costs, it allows people to jump on board without a financial barrier.
Having said that, we hope that through Love Granbury, people will feel challenged
to give sacrificially towards reaching out to the community. Also, having most of the
people involved wearing a Love Granbury T-shirt has proven to be a very powerful
part of the event, and it’s a great reminder to love the city long after the event is
over.
Is this just for youth?
There are ways that everyone can get involved. There are projects that suit
families, like carwashes or visiting seniors homes. Encourage your seniors to be
involved as well. Depending on the project, they can join in serving. They can also
be a tremendous support through prayer and finances. But yes, youth usually have
quite a bit of energy for this stuff!

What is Servant Evangelism?
Servant Evangelism is stepping out with acts of kindness to
show God’s love in a practical way. Examples are: a free
carwash, a coke give-away, free lawn cutting or yard work,
or free bathroom cleaning. Whenever possible, a kindness
card is given out with the free gift or service, saying
something like, “We hope this small gift brings some light
into your day. It’s a small way of saying God loves you – no
strings attached…”
