Not Just "Doing Ministry"

 After School Tutoring Kids

After many months of:

• Tutoring kids after school three days a week
• Cooking dinner for the kids three days a week
• Giving small gifts to teachers every holiday
• Helping at school events
• Volunteering for field day
• Teaching ESL classes
• Picking up kids for church each week
• Meeting with parents
• Providing teacher breakfasts on occasion
• Sponsoring special classroom projects
• And giving time in numerous other behind the scenes ways...

In one day, God reveals how he has been working in many hearts:

•  "So what do you guys believe?" asked a teacher at the school.
• Two of the girls from tutoring that I pick up for church each week said they want to know Jesus personally.

Sometimes I wonder if all the time spent "doing ministry" makes a difference.  And then God reminds me what it's all really about--testifying of Christ through our words and our life so that people come to know our beautiful Lord and Savior.
