Serving at a local school

Since the end of last school year, the Lord has really impressed upon my heart to get more involved with the local schools---to be a support to the staff and teachers and to love on the children.  As we prayed about it, we decided to start with Las Nubes School, the bilingual school where our boys attend.  We met with the Director and asked if we could bring them a snack or meal during their meetings before school started.  We also wanted to share with them our desire as Horizon Church and Iglesia Radical to be a support for them and their students/families.  We explained how we desired to serve them and we also invited them to church and offered free counseling, computer services, etc if any of this was ever a need.  At the end, we gave each of them a little gift and then we were able to pray over them as a group.  It was such an AMAZING time of pouring in to them and they were so blessed--many of them teary--as they thanked us for "the little things that mean so much."  We had a lot of fun and have already begun talking to the other schools about duplicating this same idea there.  In addition, with some of our church volunteers we hope to get into the classrooms for special workshops that address who they are in Christ, fighting against child abuse/child trafficking that is so prevalent here.  We have been praying for the Lord's direction here and someone brought us just this week a 6-week course on this exact topic for children!  Please pray with us as we are guided by the Lord in the steps we take in all that we do.  Pray, also, that teachers at these schools would be drawn to the Lord like never before this year!  Eph 3:20  "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can hope or imagine according to His POWER within us, to Him be the glory..." Amen!
