The Children!

Tonight was really special and I pray that our dinner guests were touched by the experience.

A few children from the 2nd grade class at Horizon Christian Academy, joined our team for the evening with their own thoughtful touch. They (along with their teacher) made 80 bagged lunches: Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches, chips, bottled water, and scripture verses of GOD's love. The sandwiches were made with their own little hands and passed out personally to each guest that came through the line. It was really sweet to see the hearts of such young people, who have a desire to serve our LORD in simple acts of love.

The crowd, for the most part, was receptive to the message shared. It's encouraging to see that more and more are starting to pay attention to the sharing of GOD's Word. As for the attendance tonight, we had a larger crowd and unfortunately those who arrived later missed out on the meal.

It's cool to see how GOD works things out in His perfect planning. Some of our team members were out sick or had other obligations, which normally would've left us short-handed, but with those children, came their parents... which helped fill those empty spots. It worked out well because it gave those people new to our gatherings, an opportunity to serve and get hands-on experience getting to know some of our guests.

We also shared the celebration of some birthdays with singing and cake. I love that one of our team members had that loving act put on her heart by our Heavenly Father.

This past Friday (2/10/12)

I was physically absent from this week's outreach, but I was there in spirit & prayer.

Our worship leader & friend, Jason shared the message from John 1. We can only trust that GOD's Word does not return void.

From what I was told, the evening went really good.

I thank The LORD for the faithful that continue to serve the King of Kings regardless of circumstances or how short-handed we might be.

GOD is still in control and doing His thing.
