Ministry Day 3.6.2013, Servant Partners, Disabled Kids, and Candid Friends.

What a good day. I had so much fun serving. I was given a message from an events coordinator that I would lead a team with a local ministry, "Servant Partners". It sounded great being with a group of guys that I could get to know better. Just before the day of ministry I was told we will also be doing a program onboard for disabled kids. I had to reschedule a few things from my morning to make plans for the priority, MISSIONS. I’ve done days like this before and love them. The programs we do onboard are always exciting and a great way to show off how proud we are of our home, Logos Hope. We started the morning as usual with devotion and breakfast a cup of coffee, workout, personal devotions same ole’ stuff. But this day was superb! Let me tell you why… The event was great for so many reasons. I love kids and seeing their excitement for the program,“Children of the King”. I did my best face painting ever and dressed in the outfit we have for our captain. [It’s a large costume like the ones you would see at an amusement park or somewhere like that.] This was my 1st time in the suit after dressing many others in the same costume; I was thrilled I could wear EL Capitano. The kids loved the captain, I danced around having a good time with everyone. They had a photo booth set up for people to dress in the other costumes we had available and then we would pose together for a quick photo shoot. This was a great time to bless the special education kids with the love of Christ. The early afternoon comes… I was blessed with a brief break in the action. In this time I read so many good scriptures and was encouraged by God through His word and prayer time. Alright! We head now towards the next location with "Servant Partners" and more children. There we found an amazing American woman who spoke great Thai. Kerstin had only been there for a total of 6 months but knew the people and the language in a way that was unbelievable. We were originally supposed to go and play soccer with the older kids but we arrived late due to traffic. So, we got to hang out with the youngings which turned out pretty good. We planted a few Sunflowers and Wild-Flowers and sang some good worship songs. The kids and I enjoyed running around in the yard with other as I tossed them around on my shoulders and swing them around in circles. These kids were such a delight as they didn't want to leave us; they walk with us all the way out to the point they could not go any further. Then more traffic on the way home. Over 3 hours spent in taxis today was surprisingly exciting. The 3 others and I had a lot of fun getting to know each other and then sharing about each others’ language; language is a great way to connect with another. We had 1 person from every major continent in the car. I’m attempting to learn many different languages to make an attempt to better get to know the peoples of the world. Plus there’s many other cultural things you can use to build a conversation, but language is so easy. Overall what a great day I couldn't resist sitting down and writing a short story of how God has blessed me in this day. Prayer to God, "I’m Rejoicing Father in your blessing and how you put these three great guys into my life for a good time of ministry!" =) Thank you Ju-Hun (S. Korea) for his ability to connect with the kids, Matthew (Ireland) for his uncanny ability to negotiate with the taxi-driver and talk to the people, Patrick (S. Africa) for his brilliant flavor of love and energy he brought, “for the “Angles Anint’ achachttt”” (blessing from angels in Africans).
