Reality Week

Last night I talked to Sharayah on Skype. She is attending IBC and having a good time. She was all fired up from being out in the streets on outreach this week for Reality Week...praying for the community and knocking doors. She met some adorable kids that touched her heart. They went to a nursing home and sang to the residence there and walked around talking and making friends with the residence. She said she told them how her grandmother(my mother) grew up in Indianapolis and went to school there... and she-(Rayah) has been raised in California and how she loves being there around family and seeing the sights that she only saw in pictures of my family growing up...they thought that was neat. She loved ministering to the nursing home residence. All of these are good experiences that I've had and many of you growing up in church and it's nice to hear the next generation having a burden to touch people where they live. She especially loves children. Her heart was touched by the children they met and the students took pizza and snacks to the children who were coming home from school and played ball with them...inviting them to Sunday School. The kids were excited to have their attention and loved the snacks. She said many of the little girls were intriqued with her long hair. They were touching it. lol (We're used to that!) Her heart has always been in our childrens ministry here at STWC. That is my passion also. But, Sharayah has a deep passion of her own for Children's Ministry. She connects so well and notices children and their special ways. Tonight the IBC Choir will be singing downtown at the circle in Indianapolis. (I "borrow" pictures from her myspace!)lol
