The Bread of Life

Sorry for taking so long with this one. It happened a while back, but I really wanted to share it with everyone because it has touched my heart and grown me in my love for Jesus and my understanding of the Gospel. If you've seen a change in me lately, the reason is written below. Thank you, Jesus, for never letting me go...


Dan Clark is one of the members of the team we helped lead in August. He graciously recounted the story for all of us involved, and I added some parts to clarify what had been spoken in Spanish. Thanks, Dan!


On Saturday, August 6, 2011 everyone was given a choice to go to the Laguna, Zipline or participate in a ministry opportunity. Deann, Pam, Brett, Jacque and I chose to do ministry. After lunch we discussed the various groups of people to reach out to and different ideas on how to do that. Then we prayed for God to guide us to the right people and the right place. We also prayed for God to prepare the hearts of whomever with whom we were lead to share the truth.

We decided through God’s leading to go to the park and make balloon animals on the steps of the gazebo to provide opportunities to share Jesus with children in the area. We sat down and began to make the balloon animals. Kids quickly gathered and were really excited. A couple of the kids got a little demanding and had a hard time keeping their hands off the balloons and pumps. One of these kids was the one with whom I felt the need to share Jesus.
