But, second only to going into full time ministry, this is the biggest step of faith I have ever taken. I will be handing control of this thing over to God and quite honestly I am fairly frightened. Excited but frightened. More next week.
Last week we had VBS in Laurel and we were blown away with what God did out there. On the high day we had 95, our overall average attendance was 85, but total we had 115 different kids. WOW! Better than all that, however, is that 4 kids gave their hearts to Christ. It doesn't get better than that.
Last year our high was 50 kids so we were utterly amazed at what God did. He blew our expectations out of the water. But that's His specialty, right? And don't even get me started on the msision team. We so love them and they look forward to coming each year. They're already planning on next week.
We worked them really hard this year and they didn't complain once. They said they were privileged to do landscaping, building projects, and visit people in the community on our behalf. They represented themselves, their home church, our church and most importantly their Savior well. It's no wonder they were so refreshing to our souls at a time when we so desperately needed encouragement.
It's been a tough year, that's certain but in looking back, God has been faithful and there are evidences of that throughout this season.
