Friday
was the last day of a 4-day Bible club at a local primary school. I was
entrusted with the task of sharing the gospel with over 200 children
between the ages of 5-14 that afternoon. I was nervous all morning.
When time came for the Bible club, our team was
running a bit behind schedule. I only had 10 minutes to share about the
most important topic that could ever be shared.
I was more than a little nervous. But that's when it hit me: none of
this was about me anyway. God knew before the earth was formed that we
would be running late. He knew that I would have the chance to share the
gospel. It was only through Him that I had
the opportunity to share, and so I could be confident knowing that the
response depended on Him and Him alone. God can do amazing things when
we leave the response up to Him!
After sharing the gospel, I invited the kids to come talk to me or my teammates if they had any questions. God moved, and I had the awesome experience of being able to lead 7 girls to Jesus! They were so full of questions, and had such a genuine desire to know the truth. I shared with them that the angels rejoice in heaven when someone comes to know Jesus. Their precious mouths literally dropped open in amazement at the knowledge that they were making angels sing.
What
if I said the wrong
thing?
What if they had questions that I couldn't answer?
What if there
was no response at all?

Please pray that God would continue to use us to introduce others to Himself, and that we might give the glory to Him and Him alone.
