Update: Kingdom Assignment

I recently received an e-mail from Judith Grossman with an update on a project they started while we were in Orosi. If you read the post "And on Sunday, We Rested," you'll see that near the end of worship services on Sunday, August 31, 14 volunteers from the congregation each received $100 to make a difference in the life of somebody else.

Been getting a little feedback on the Kingdom Assignment we gave to the fourteen people on Sunday. One young teen named Esteben used the money to buy groceries for a poor family he knows. Another, Leo, was walking with a friend at night with the money in his pocket. His friend suggested they take a shortcut but Leo didn't feel good about it so he took the long way. His friend was attacked and his things were stolen. Leo recognizes this as the miracle it is and is taking his responsibility very seriously!

I can't wait to hear more about how people are using the money to make a difference in the lives of others! There has been talk that when the Threshold VBS Team returns to Orosi in December, Rick and Judith will ask the individuals who received the money to give their reports. It would be great if we could get video of that to post.

Dear Cory, thanks for sharing your experience with us, when I read it I could only think in Rick’s message: “we can make a difference”. I’m sure you all made a big difference in Orosi, in my life and in Marjorie’s life. So, I’m very happy because this project is not only transforming your life, but many others. I’ll be praying for you and for your lovely family. Rosario
