SinglesofFaith.com Mobilizing Christian Singles Nationwide for Networking & Community Service; Hosting Inaugural Las Vegas ‘Workday’ this February
CNTNewswire.Com - PHOENIX, Since January 2007, Mike McCartney has traveled the country pursuing a very unusual goal – eliminating datelessness among single U.S. Christians. At first glance, McCartney’s motives might seem obvious – he is the founder of SinglesofFaith.com, one of the top Christian singles’ online introduction services in the world.
But far less obvious are McCartney’s methods. Rather than relying on personality profiles, photos or even compatibility tests, (though those are in place,) he would rather forge “love connections” between singles carrying shovels…or paint brushes…or ladles of soup and plates of food.
On Feb. 23, for example, McCartney is encouraging Nevada singles to take a different approach to meeting that special someone. Rather than dressing up for a night on the town, McCartney wants singles to put on some jeans and become part of an eager and ready labor supply during SingesofFaith.com’s first Las Vegas Workday.
Work groups will gather and head into Las Vegas’ most at-risk neighborhoods to help existing inner-city ministries and service organizations:
McCartney said the vision for creating a special day of service for Christian singles in every state came after he pondered the question: “If Jesus flew into our local airport and had an eight-hour layover before His next departing flight, what would He do with those eight hours?”
Based on his study of the New Testament, McCartney concluded that after ministering to needy individuals within the airport, Jesus would most likely travel to the city’s more at-risk neighborhoods to feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, heal the sick and comfort the hurting.
To date, that vision has driven McCartney to host eight SinglesofFaith.com Workdays in both major metropolises (Phoenix and Minneapolis) and smaller cities (Ames, Iowa; Fort Collins, Colo; Sioux Falls, SD.) His ultimate goal is to mobilize a “Domestic Peace Corps” on the third Saturday of each month in the 218 largest US cities.

McCartney continues working toward that goal by slowly expanding the Workdays and interviewing for local coordinators in cities nationwide. He will host his first Southern California WorkDay this January before hosting the first Las Vegas Workday in February and Texas Workday in March.
