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... (fill in the blank)... and this is how I'll use that gift to make this world a better place." Use the book as inspiration to think about how you can be a Guerrilla Lover to shine God's love into the dark places of this world. And then come back and tell us how it went! Watch Vince...

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! Watch Vince HERE.

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. Watch Vince give us the assignment HERE.

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.

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. Watch Vince give the assignment HERE.

Vince challenges us this week with an all new Guerrilla Lovers Assignment: Take the furthest parking spot away from the door... every single day this week. The goal here is to not only let other people take the closer spots, but to spend your walking time praying for those people. Usually, we fight with everyone else to get the closest parking spot, but this is an opportunity to be selfless. You'll not only bless others by your selflessness... but by your prayer for them. Watch Vince explain the assignment HERE.

This week, for Assignment #7, Vince tells us the story of a Washington DC man who decided to give away $10 a day. In a similar way, Vince challenges us to take the next 7 days and give away a certain amount of money each day. It could be $5, $10, $20 or even more. But as Guerrilla Lovers, we have the capability to impact other people's lives with our generosity. As you find opportunities to give away this money, come back here and tell us your story. We want to hear about the reactions and the responses. Watch Vince HERE.

Vince introduces the 6th Guerrilla Lovers Assignment this week. He's giving us an easier one this time. Here it is... rent the movie The Blind Side with some friends. When you're done, talk about Sandra Bullock's character in the movie. How was she a Guerrilla Lover? What were some of the obstacles she had to overcome? What negativity did she withstand? And what about you? Could you do what she did? Could you make the adjustments and investments she did? Why or why not? Watch Vince give us the assignment HERE.

Welcome back to the 5th Guerrilla Lovers Assignment. So far, you've had some exciting adventures, including cleaning up a roadway and bringing pizza to your neighbor. But this week has the potential to make an even bigger impact. This week, Vince encourages us to visit someone in a hospital. The goal is to visit someone who doesn't get many visitors and bring them a balloon or flowers. You may not know anyone in the hospital, so you'll have to talk with a nurse and ask them for permission to do this. Just explain that you want to show some love and compassion for someone who is hurting. Take a minute or two to hear Vince's heart. WATCH HERE
