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. These bubbles were quite a draw! And once we started handing them out to kids instead of just leaving them on the table, we were able to talk with lots more people because we could share a bag of literature with the parents as well.  Best strategy tip: Reach the kids and you'll get the adults too! 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 ...

Know anyone who is busy and stressed? This is the easiest and cutest gift and it reminds each person that Jesus is with them. Add some GLOW tracts and you have the perfect witnessing tool.  I put together 80 of these to share with the Shepherdess of the Michigan Conference at Camp meeting. Then I shared them with one of my churches so they could share them with friends.  

I had the privilege of sharing outreach ideas in the primary division at campmeeting this year. So I told them some stories and then each day they got to put together an outreach idea and then take it to share with someone. These are a few of the things that we did. They got to thank someone who was working to make campmeeting great! They got to tell someone that Jesus loves them! I sent this home with them on the last day so that they would be reminded to stay close to Jesus!  

Similar to a previous post, but we wanted even the church members to know that Jesus loves them! So we made these to hand out on Pathfinder Sabbath. Then they took some to share with their friends and neighbors.  

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...

Everyone we meet needs to know that they are very special to Jesus and this is a cute little way to remind church members, neighbors, friends, and even strangers that they are berry, berry special!

Valentine's Day! The perfect day to tell others that Jesus loves them! And it can't get much better when you add a strawberry muffin with a cute little tag.
