All week she was excited about telling others about Jesus and on the way to the mission we practiced what she was going to say. Once we got inside, there was no hesitation. She jumped right in and started sharing and had an opportunity to pray with a young girl she meet that night (Thanks Mrs. Jill for helping her through that.).
I was pumped! It was exciting to see my daughter engaged in fulfilling the Great Commission. I would have never done that when I was 8 years old. I didn't know how then. Evey has talked with children in our neighborhood about Jesus and we have been coaching her on how to present the gospel. However, this mission trip really got her excited. We are still answering questions she has and looking forward to the spiritual growth that Evey will gain from this experience.
As I watched the other children from NEHBC share the gospel I was reminded of how simple the message of salvation is and how stubborn adults can be. I watched the courage the children displayed and thought of how hesitant we as grownups often get when the opportunity to speak truth is presented to us. I marveled at how God was working in the lives of these children to advance His kingdom. Thanks to all who helped make this possible and provided me the opportunity to teach my daughter the importance of evangelism and missions in the life of a believer. We will never forget it.
