I was on Sharon Perry's Facebook page the other night and she had posted pics of our first soccer camp with Hope Community Church...This was at a time in the church when we only had 16 adults and 6 kids in the church...(3 of the kids were mine!) We had about 25 adults just a month and a half before the camp, but things were "falling apart" (at least in our eyes!)...1/2 the team had left the church plant in May/June...we were struggling...holding on to the fact that we sensed STRONGLY that God wasn't finished with us yet...
Then we had the camp and 16-18 kids showed up...3 made decisions for Christ...we worked our tails off...And I believe with EVERYTHING IN ME that when this group of 16 people said "Let's do this" it laid a foundation for what we have experienced over the past 3 camps...and what we are experiencing in our church! I praise God for that group of faithful men and women...most of which knew NOTHING of the game of soccer, but wanted to invest in their community for the Kingdom of God. It wasn't long before that group of 16 jumped in with some church called Grace Community and less than a year later started a 2nd campus...I LOVE HOW GOD WORKS!
BE FAITHFUL WITH WHATEVER GOD GIVES YOU!
