God BLEW it UP in CLEVELAND!
A Note from Robb Ammermann, Pastor of Student Ministries
Every morning we began our day with morning devos and asked God to open our eyes to the opportunities around us where we could be His hands and feet… to LIVE LOVE to the least of these. We did NOT have to look very hard, there were people that needed Jesus’ LOVE all around us.
In the mornings we served the elderly by weeding gardens, washing windows or cleaning. When we approached one of the gentlemen we were serving, Richard, we said that we are here to serve, help and love you. He replied, “There’s not much here to love”. I watched as several of our students took time to stop working and talk with Richard during our time at his home, many of them hugging this 82 year old man while he cried. There are several stories like this that our students have in their hearts now because of this outreach in Cleveland.
In the afternoon we served at FOCUS Sports Camp at Parma Heights Baptist Church for over 1000 children. We served in the afternoon session where there were over 400 kids in attendance. In our training before the mission trip, we prepared our testimonies of how Jesus Christ saved us and is now the Lord our lives. Nearly ALL of our students and leaders had the opportunity daily to share Christ with kids that did not know Jesus. As a result over 200 kids made first time decisions to follow Jesus! Every night we gathered for our processing time, when all the kids would share, testify, cry, shout out about the AMAZING things that God had done! GLORY to GOD!!
As we prepared to return home, many of the kids talked about how they want to stay on MISSION at home! God has a mission for us wherever we are, will we LIVE LOVE is the question. Thanks SO MUCH for supporting your Middle School mission team. To GOD be ALL the GLORY!
