With God’s amazing hand upon it we pulled off our biggest Bridge of Hope event thus far. We hit the ground running, which is usually the case when you pull up in our neighborhood. The bags were packed, the grills were smoking, and the water slides were up and kids were waiting for the go! It is hard to believe that a church of about 25 fed about 500 people. But that is only truly possible with the generous friends and family all over the Missouri district. The group that call themselves “Road Riders for Jesus” did all the cooking and serving on the day of the event. They cooked up 300 hamburgers and 300 hot dogs. WOW! They were such servants and their joyful spirits were felt by the people in the neighborhood. Wright City’s, Dan Pennington and Ray Baker, brought us two waterslides and 150 bibles to give out. The kids played in the water non-stop and I believe the parents and families really enjoyed watching the kids laughing and being crazy. We gave out the backpacks and the kids looked really proud to put it on their backs. The true sense of community was beautiful. People eating together, music playing, kids running around, smiles, hugs, Jesus’ presence. Harvester youth group was throwing the footballl around and meeting people. It was amazing! Special thanks to them for sticking around and doing all the clean-up. Thank you is so small and insignificant when such a huge event took place. We have figured out the most valuable thing about the help of others at Bridge of Hope equals more lives touched. I know God is pleased with the outpouring of love and the importance we have placed on meeting the needs of the people he loves.
