What a great day today was. This Sunday was the 10th Anniversary of Grace Community Church. It is so hard to believe that 10 years ago a small band of God followers set out on an adventure to start a church. Over the years there was many God moments. It was obvious after hearing the testimonies today that the Lord had touched each and everyone's life in many ways. Two of the biggest God moments for our family was when Tyler and Grace prayed to ask Jesus in their hearts. I am always blown away by the faith and belief children have. We also got to hear from Jim Hawking who started ICDI. Through this organization 1500 wells have been drilled and/or are maintained. This provides fresh water for the people of the Central African Republic. It was awesome to hear what the Lord was doing through this organization. Jim also laid out a challenge for the congregation to share the love of God with those around us.
Today was also the conclusion to Kairos 23. I was unable to be on the team this time but got to go to the closing session tonight. Before this weekend's attendees came in I got to connect with several residents who I have gotten to know at the weekly prayer and shares. It was really awesome to share in their joy. As the new Kairos graduates came in to the tune of 'When the Saints Come Marching In' it was truly a time of rejoicing. The rest of the time was spent listening to how the Lord and Kairos had touched their lives and changed them. There is nothing more exciting than listening to how the Lord has changed peoples life. What an example of the redeeming power of God's love. It's times like these that reenergize me and help me focus on the main thing, and that is serving the Lord. Thank you God for your Love and the passion to share it with others!
