The Love Of Jesus: The Greatest Gift of All

I cannot believe that this week has already come and gone.  We have had the best time here in Honduras, ministering to the people.  I stand in awe at how God will use my life when I simply stay surrendered to Him, and allow Him to manifest his spirit through me.

Today was a bitter sweet day, as we said goodbye to many new friends we have made this week.  These people are no longer strangers, but dear treasures that I will forever hold near to my heart.  I say a special prayer for them tonight, that as we leave, God will continue to bless and protect their lives.  There is such a need for a loving heart, and I pray they continue to reach their nation for our Savior.

Elman and Myself

I found out that I will officially be the sponsor of Elman!  God brought him into my life this week, and he will carry a piece of my heart forever.  I cannot wait to be able to pour into his life, and know that I am making a difference in preparing him for his future.  He is so smart and caring, and I know that God has great things in store for Elman's life!






As we said goodbye to over 100 children today, we gave them gifts of candy, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pencils, bubbles, and so much more.  As I watched each child pass by to receive their gift, I felt in my spirit, that as they walked away with some candy in their hand, they were walking away with so much more in their hearts.  We had the opportunity to pour the Love of Jesus into the lives of these children for the  past week.  As they left today, I could tell we had given them so much more than some cute prizes; we had given them the Love of Jesus!  Their faces lit up as we hugged them and told them we loved them, and it was obvious that some of them were feeling a love they had never experienced before.  What a humbling experience to know that God used us this week as vessels for His love to flow through.

There is always someone in our life that needs to know the Love of God.  We carry a gift in our heart that is more precious than anything else we can offer to a hurting or lonely soul.  The Love of Christ is the greatest thing that we can give to those around us.  Never allow a moment to pass you by that you are not surrendered to God so that His love can flow through you and touch other people's lives.  We carry the greatest gift...will you give it away?

When I return from Honduras, I start one of my Kid's Crusade at Sneads Assembly of God.  Traveling to many churches and camps doing crusades is what I do during the summer months, along with being a full-time Children's Pastor!  On the heels of this event, I will be leaving on August 5th going to Mongolia for 2 weeks for a Missions trip alongside David Boyd, the National BGMC Director.  What an amazing opportunity!

 I hope to post daily while I am on this trip, and I would love to hear back from all of you!  Please keep me in your prayers as I travel and do what I believe God has opened the door for me to do!

Don't forget to comment and tell me your answer to the poll on the sidebar!  All CORRECT answers will be in the drawing for a GREAT prize!  (An awesome t-shirt--created especially for you-and a music CD of Claresa Moore!)
