Ambassadors

"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were makings his appeal through us..."
2 Cor 5:20a

This was the verse we discussed in our Good News Club this past week. We started to teach our kids about the Great Commission and it was received so well by our kids. We continue to encourage and challenge them to share the hope of Christ to those they love, but also open their eyes to see not only those around them, but the whole world.

It was so neat to watch them grasp this verse and understand more of their purpose for their lives as followers of Christ.

Some of the highlights from this past Tuesday are the following:

• When we were telling them how some people in other countries have never heard of Jesus, Jacob's response was, "I want to go and tell them about Jesus." God has amazing plans for these kids...He truly has and we are so excited to be a small part of it.
• At the end of our time together we always pray for each other, but this time we showed them a globe and asked them to pick a country (any country) and it was precious to hear their simple prayer, "God I ask that you would send ambassadors to Ethiopia(etc) and that they would know about Jesus." I was so touched by those prayers!
• When they were going home Matt overheard one of the kids ask his mom, "mom, do you believe that God offers forgiveness for your sins?"He kept repeating this while his mom ignored him." God is at work!!! :)
  

Lord, continue to put your purposes and desires in these children's hearts!

Matt and I sat outside after all the kids left. It was a beautiful night and our hearts could not have been more full of joy and purpose and excitement! We were just talking about how blessed WE are by sharing God's Truth with the children and how God has been so good to us by putting this desire in our hearts and giving us this wonderful opportunity.

God is doing some beautiful things in our hearts and I will share something new that God is doing in the next blog...so make sure you check it out soon :)
