Total Community Involvement

-
Our first experience while we were at Weimar in California supposed to be involved in the weekly total community involvement. This is the service projects that they do each week in various areas of the community. 


Us girls were involved in a park project. Some of the students go and play with kids that are at the park. After they play for a while, they also have a craft that they've planned as well as snacks. They get involved with the children and are able to make connections with the parents this way.

Our guys were able to go along with the group that helped a family whose husband just became up paraplegic. They helped split and haul stack wood

This is an amazing program they have going at Weimar That is changing lives in ministering to many people in their community. They've seen the kids make many contacts and they've even seen baptismal results from this program.

Our theme was the Abundant Life and we had tables about physical, mental, and spiritual health at the Curtis 4th of July festivities. In the mental health area we had literature and activities that would benefit people's mental health. A balloon pop where they could write their worries, stresses, and challenges and then pop the balloon, a sudoku puzzle, stickers, bubbles, stress relieving activities and lots of reading material.

In the spiritual health area we had a jeopardy style game that they could answer questions from that would give them points to enter their name in multiple times (depending on their points) for a drawing. They could leave prayer requests and there was lots of ...

Be Ready to Share

I had been praying for divine appointments on my trip out to see Chaeli and back. I always want to be able to share hope, encouragement, and Jesus if there's someone who needs to hear So I left on this trip ready to share with people about Health, family values, and Jesus love! On my flight back home, I was reading a small book called Darkness Before Dawn. I happened to be in a chapter that had a picture of Jesus coming back to get us. It was full of angels and it caught the attention of one of the flight attendants as she was serving drinks. She said, " Are you reading about angels?" I told her that I was and shared a little bit about the book. She was intrigued that it talked about how Jesus was going to come back and what the second coming is going to be like based on what the Bible says. We talked a little bit about her background and how she's lost her mom who really loved angels and about how she believes it's not just politics going awry, but th...
