Monday was the first day of our activity in the park called, “Looking For Baby Jesus.” We had lots of help. The mission team from the Bread of Life church in La Presa and the believers from the One in Christ church were highly motivated and worked hard. After picking up the trash in the park, we set up for the activity – ready to see lots of children come. When the time came to begin, only a few showed up, but they were our new friends’ children - some came with their moms. After sending a few teams to hand out invitations, Ingrid and Keila invited some children playing on an adjacent playground, and they came. We had a good size group.
Being the first day of our first ever activity in Los Heroes, it was good to see how the team worked so well together. We hope to see these children and their moms in the days to come.
I was surprised by the willingness of one of the moms whom we had asked to prepare a snack for the children. When I went by to pick up the food, she offered to take cups and napkins and etc. for the children. She doesn’t have much, but with just a little she did a lot. It makes me think of the story of the widow and her “mite” in Luke 21 who “put in all that she had…” I hope that many come to the point of serving God as she did on Monday.
