by vantonucci Tue, Jun.01.2010 - 10:29pm

Vince announces the 9th Guerrilla Lover assignment, and this is a good one! Tip the dishwasher. The next time you visit a restaurant this week, bring a generous tip ($10, $20) and ask to visit the kitchen after your meal. They might give you funny looks, but go with it! Work your way to the kitchen where you can tell the dishwasher how much you appreciate them. Explain that you like to show people God's love in ways like this. You'll make thier day. If you can't get to the kitchen, then bring a back-up envelope to hand to the wait staff. Ask them to pass it back for you.

Vince's 10th Guerrilla Lover assignment will touch someone's life from your past. This week, sit down and write a meaningful letter to someone who has impacted you in a positive way. It could be someone from your childhood or, even better, someone you know who doesn't know Jesus. But don't settle for a five-word note. Take the time to write a substantial letter. When you're done, come back and share your story. Watch Vince HERE.

11th Assignment: Give a Phone Card to a Homeless Person

For week 11, Vince reminds us not to grow weary in loving people in the world around us. The Bible reminds us not to forget about the poor around, so this week, we're going to reach out to them specifically. This week, pick-up a phone card for $10 or $20 and give it to a homeless person. If you don't know where to find someone who is homeless, give it to someone who could use it the most. This card could make it possible for that individual to do something they couldn't otherwise do. When you're done, come back here and tell your story.

12th Assignment: Serve Your Waiter or Waitress

In this 12th Guerrilla Lovers Assignment, Vince Antonucci challenges us to go out to dinner! But rather than being served by our waitress or waiter, Vince wants us to look for ways to serve them! This might be through laughter, kindness, encouragement - whatever you think might work. But take this opportunity to make a difference in their lives! And then... when you're ready to go... leave them the biggest tip you can afford. It'll take some sacrifice, of course, but it's what Jesus asked us to do. Come back here and share your story when you're done!

Congratulations! You've almost made it through 13 weeks of Guerrilla Lover Assignments! In this final video, Vince asks us to go to a nearby bookseller and read a copy of The Flower Man. This might sound strange, but bear with him... While you're reading the book, take your laptop or a sheet of paper and write a short piece about yourself in light of the book. You could start-out by writing, "I don't have flowers, but I do have...
