Testimony from Gresham event

“I remember being 7 years old and giving my heart to Jesus at Sunday school. Now being an adult and bringing Sunday school to neighborhoods has been a very heartfelt experience. In Gresham, I got to paint the faces of many children. One little girl stood out to me, because somehow we went from talking about rainbows and hearts to how: God knocks on the door of our heart and we get to open the door to let Him in. As I finished painting, I asked, “Do you want to do that today?” She nodded quickly. I said, “Okay this is going to be fun!” I lead her through a prayer of inviting Jesus into her heart. She nodded her head and repeated the words. When we finished, I told her, “God gets to be your best friend for your whole life now!” She smiled really big. She kept sitting in the chair even after the painting was finished and I got to tell her more about Jesus. When I asked her, “what are you feeling right now?” after the prayer, she thought about it and looked back up, “I just feel really good.” She told me she was 7 years old and I could feel the pleasure of God watching this moment between us. It’s so beautiful to give away what Christ has done in each of us and to give kids experiences that changes their life!”
