I continue to be overwhelmed with the response to our "Back to School Supplies" give-away. It serves as a good reminder of why seed planting is so important. As word gets out about this event more and more agencies are coming forward to help. Yesterday, our local school agreed to make our flyer part of the welcome packet for their new student registration next week. Our local Costco called to say they would like to donate bottled water for our family fun day. Meijer, the store we are purchasing the supplies from, informed us today they would be donating two additional gift cards to cover any other items we may need for our event. I hope and pray that this event, as well as others like it planned for fall, will serve as the catalyst we need to increase our presence in the community and welcome people into a relationship with Jesus. It seems hard to believe that life for this event was birthed after we decided not to go ahead with Vacation Bible School this year due to low enrollment. I remain convinced that when we continue to move forward in faith God opens new pathways for connection if we are willing to step out grounded in that same faith. It is humbling to realize how God provides opportunities for us to be blessings to others if we are open to it and follow where God leads us.
