My roommate is spending two weeks in America. I miss her for many reasons. And one of those reasons is that her and I work together to minister to the youth and kids at the bi-monthly International Service. She runs the children's Sunday school class and I run the youth. And we also decided to help with monthly events. These are great hang out times, parties, and get togethers with the different groups. My roommate and I plan together, talk together and help one another. With her being gone, I taught both the youth and kids together. And next Saturday, we have another event with the kids that I am planning on my own. It makes me appreciate all the work she does.
And the work is worth it. I think of all the kids that come to International Service. I think about their families. Many are missionary kids where it is their opportunity to learn about the Lord in English. Others are embassy, military or kids of scholars. And this is the only place they've ever heard the Gospel, stories of Jesus or the importance of the Bible. I am excited about this. It is amazing the opportunities God opens, even when least expecting it.
