"One of the best birthdays"

Our church had the privilege to participate in a Community Bible Project. We planned & organized this event to distribute a bible, a gospel tract, & information about our church to every home in Mineral Springs. The weather today is gorgeous & about 35 of our people showed up this morning to cover the town. In about 2 hours times we distributed over 400 Bibles!

I am so proud of our people & their energy. We had everyone from Kindergarten to to a 91 year-old woman! People for the most part were so responsive & appreciative. One lady was so grateful because she didn't even own a Bible & others were grateful we care about them. We also made contact with some young adult prospects in our community, so it was a great day for our church. We pray the impact goes far beyond today.

The greatest blessing of the day for me was from a lady named Charlene in our church. Today was her 91st birthday & was estatic to be a part of such a good day. She told her daughter during lunch she couldn't think of any better way to spend her birthday. She said it was one of her best birthdays! Praise the Lord for Christians who love spreading God's love

Jesus said "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Our church people went out today in attempt to reach that harvest, & even though we need more workers I know of a few more in our church who have realized the importance of working for the Lord. I'm extremely proud of our people & pray God uses these Bibles to change lives in Mineral Springs.
