Tonight I got to help out in Thrive. It was awesome! It is so ironic... I didn't really want to do this ministry when I first started. I just agreed to because my Pastor's asked. The first week was awful. Tonight was incredible though. I love seeing the kids learn and be excited!
They took turns reading the scriptures. We played games and we talked about rules and parents and boundaries and God. At the end we asked if anyone had prayer requests. We had so many that we just went around the room allowing each kiddo to share what was on their hearts. Then we took volunteers who wanted to lead the prayer for their friends. So almost all of the kids took the opportunity to pray for one of their friends! It was awesome to see their faith rising as they saw their friends get healed. Pain left arms and feet and ankles and legs! GOD showed up in an awesome way!
The best moment was when we were praying for one boy and the kids had almost puppy piled on top of me to pray for their friend. I looked down at the circle of hands and arms reaching in around me and it was amazing!
