Do Something NOW

I hate it that Policemen are being shot down in the streets in 

our country these days! 

They are the ones who help, and yet

bad people are going after them to KILL.

Today,some friends and I made some cupcakes, 

wrote some encouraging notes, 

and delivered them to 

our local Police Station.

The Police Officers were so happy! 

It only took an hour of our time, but  

we made a huge difference in 

the Policemen's day!

We showed them our notes, and then asked 

the Police Chief if we could say a 

prayer over them. 

Steven, my good friend led the prayer, asking God to 

provide safety, wisdom, and 

protection to all the officers. 

Then we just talked and petted the big Police Dog. 

I encourage everyone to take time to 

do something like this soon.  

These men do dangerous work and 

they said very few people thank them. 

"When the righteous are in authority,

 the people rejoice:

but when the wicked rule, 

the people mourn."

Proverbs 29:2 (KJV)

What is Servant Leadership?

During my third year in Lads to Leaders,

 

Our Theme for 2015/2016 was

 "All that you say to me, I will do."

 

 It is never easy to strive
 

To obey the Bible in all things
 

But there is no better way to try to live.

I have met many wonderful people who

Have Ruth 3 verse 5 as their goal in life.

These people are good people,

 I mean
 

Salt of the Earth types. 

 

Many of them are with me in Lads to Leaders (L2L).

My Puppet Team last year

For 2015/2016 in Lads to Leaders, I signed up for 19 events.  

That is HUGE.  

This is only my Third year in L2L, but I was interested in so many things, 

my parents said I could do 19 events, 

IF I promised to complete two events or items per month. 

  

I had to make a plan on paper, and my mom made me keep a journal, 

writing down when I was working on each event, 

and when I finished. 

 It kept me on track.  

But even if I don't win a single event, it doesn't matter, 

because I will have gained so much more.  

Youth Service work this year

Here is a song that sums it all up:

Make me a servant, Lord, Make me like you... 

For you are a Servant, 

Make me like You,

Make me a servant, 

Do what you must do,

To make me a servant, 

Make me like you.

My Goals in 3rd Grade...

When I was in 3rd Grade, I went to a Christian School.  

My teacher was Miss Metzger.  She was incredible!

We sang hymns in class every day.  She made it fun. 

She taught us this song, and we made a crude book to go with the song.

Servants of the Most High God: A Young Missionary

Truett Keener is a good friend of mine.  

He loves telling others about the good news of Salvation through Jesus Christ. Truett is an excellent example of a Leader, and someone I am trying to imitate.  

I know that Truett loves Jesus.  He loves the lost.  He is a Soul Winner.  This is what I want to be, so I am sharing this article from the Harding University Bulletin today.  

 

Please support this good work if you are able...

Harding University Junior, Truett Keener had never been to South America before this week. He has been co-leading a group of 22 students on a spring break mission trip in Ecuador.

Keener has participated in mission trips during spring break before, but this is the first trip he has led as a part of spring break missions through the Mitchell Center for Leadership and Ministry.
“People often don’t realize how many opportunities there are to travel, to lead groups or participate in a group, and that’s something I would love to see vocalized more,” he said. “I would love to see the program grow.”

The group has been busy ministering to children, leading Bible classes and chapel, and working on the property around a local school. While Keener has been focused on the specifics of his trip this week, he can’t help but see the impact of spring break missions as a whole.

“Sometimes we can get caught up in what’s happening with our individual trips, but when we look at the big picture, it’s very impressive what actually happens,” he said. “I’m really happy to be able to be a part of it. “
