Our Wednesday night ministry to children ended last night for the summer. We ended w/ the largest crowd yet: 31 children. We averaged 22 children each week for 19 weeks this semester. Of the 43 total children we ministerd to through this ministry, 7 had perfect attendence & 3 only missed one time. My team of leaders has done an awesome job & it wouldn't be possible w/o them. All of us have higher blood pressure, less hair, & less sanity. However, I believe we were honorable in the eyes of God.
Most of these children are from the neighborhood & surrounding community. Very few of them attend our church any other time. Most of them come from a different culture & environment than most people in our church. It's difficult to effectively relate & minister to those who are different than we are in whatever way. I commend our church & volunteers for putting their heart into feeding these children the truth of God's Word & the love of Jesus Christ.
On many nights we walk away wondering if we did any good at all, but we must remember God's word never returns void! I pray we will see many if not all these children in heaven one day maybe, just maybe, because of a seed that was planted through this ministry.
