Mission Accomplished

I have spent the last two weeks helping to run a kids' holiday outreach program as part of a team of roughly 25 people. It was exhausting for one as 'old' as myself, but it was highly enjoyable and well worth the effort.

Some really amazing things happened - God was working powerfully in the lives of the children and families we met at the program. At least two unsaved families decided they would like to join a church, and many children decided they would like to become friends with Jesus. Quite a few kids asked for Bibles and loved reading them (it was so good to see kids excited about reading the Word of God). We saw God change the hearts of many people, including ourselves, bringing such joy and peace in the midst of some difficult life circumstances.

I personally was very happy with the growth I saw in the team members. Not only did they grow in their ability to share their faith with others, but also in their love for and intimacy with God.

I'm dead tired today, but very satisfied and overjoyed at what has happened.
