All week I have seen soul-winners going out. I went soul-winning in Maui. I am a director of minstry. I am getting lots of feedback from the people winning souls.
On Sunday, December 13th, we in the bus ministry had to be at the church earlier than the normal time of 7:00am. We were expecting a larger crowd than usual due to the fact that on this particular Sunday, we were to give out toys and bicycles to the children for Christmas.
Well, it was a good thing we started earlier for my usual route because the buses were full after the first two stops, but we were prepared with another bus just two blocks away. Normally, the buses are about 1/3 less filled.
All the kids were very excited and had to wear wrist bands in order to receive their present.
My being in the food ministry also, gave me another viewpoint. I could see a very busy day loading the boxes of food to be distributed later after service.
We have a very faithful group of bus riders who help in this ministry. It’s an all male group that helps load the boxes of food on the buses each week. We have gotten to know each other very well and enjoy each others’ company while doing the ‘behind the scenes’ work.
But on this particular Sunday, we asked if anyone would mind helping, if needed, to hand out the toys. Although we had already been told that we had plenty of help, not one single guy said, “No”.
They really are a special group of men, because what they do each Sunday is hard work and with the holidays around the corner, we are expecting to get even busier. But, that only makes us even happier to know that we are going to be really busy!!! Praise God!
This Sunday we all had a great time and everyone left in high spirits.
We are all looking forward to next Sunday. It promises to be an truly exciting time for us that are involved with the bus and food ministries.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Praise God!!
