This is the code! This is the motto!

When was the last time you performed an act of service without strings attached? Friendship is about serving each other. A friend commits to invest in another person's life exhibiting the core value Jesus taught. He said, "Love one another". Take a relational risk today! Invest your time, talents and things to make someone better than they already are. Pay attention to their needs, strengthen their weaknesses and trust that God will guide you to be the best friend a person could ever have. A wise person once said to me that "the ministry may seem to be about events and programs but the truth remains that the ministry is about people. Without the people there is no need for ministry."

In Kids Inc we follow a simple motto:
GET CONNECTED WITH OTHER KIDS
GET CLOSER TO GOD THROUGH WORSHIP
GET READY TO LEARN THE WORD OF GOD
GET BUSY USING GIFTS AND TALENTS FOR GOD
GET OUT THERE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT GOD

One of the coolest experiences to have is to see how quickly a visiting child is accepted into our ministry. The connection only takes a few seconds and the friendships last a whole lot longer. There is much to be learned from a child. They teach us more than we as "mature" Christians are willing to learn. Take a risk today! pour your life, love and selflessness into a friend today and tell me how you feel afterwards.

What a great day to be alive!


I want to take this opportunity to thank my co-workers for Christ... To all my volunteers: You made Easter Sunday one of the best Sundays we've had all year. This ministry would be nothing without you. Thank you for being faithful to God.
Today we celebrated the true reason for Easter... Jesus is Alive!

If that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you then stir it up and watch God work through you. Here's something to think about...
The same power that spoke creation into being
The same power that healed the sick
The same power that raised the dead
The same power that conquered the grave
The same power that defeated death
LIVES INSIDE OF YOU FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
The Same Power is only a step of faith away

Today is the best day of my life

At 6:39 PM today my 5 year old daughter Miranda prayed and asked Jesus to come into her heart and be her Savior forever. Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks as I heard her make the greatest decision she could ever make. Today is the best day of my life!

A mop and a bucket

It always astounds me how God uses ordinary people, things and circumstances to teach an extraordinary lesson. Yesterday, I went to the "His House" orphanage to help prepare one of the buildings for the arrival of Haiti orphans. For the next eleven hours I either had a mop in my hand or a broom or a toilet brush. The experience brought me back to one of my early lessons as a new believer. When I was first saved, my mother was hired by our church in Trinidad to do the cleaning and preparation process for each service. After school my brother an I would assist her in any way we could. Soon, my father gave his life to the Lord and the entire family roamed the halls, bathrooms and stairs with a mop and a bucket in hand. We counted it a privilege to serve in any capacity since our focus was to do something for God in gratitude for our salvation. As I once again held a mop in my hand, it brought back memories that were not so pleasant. About two years later our family received the devastating news that my mom would spend the rest of her life dealing with Rheumatoid arthritis and that she would be bedridden. I watched as my father, a shift worker and new Christian struggled to take care of his wife and do her tasks at the church as well as care for two teenage boys. Finally, I had to do something. What was once a family job would have to become my responsibility. After swinging a mop for hours I would pray at that altar for God to heal my mother and take the pressure off my father. Prayers of desperation turned to worship and worship developed into a relationship with God. I sought God and He found me. Sometimes God isolates us to change us. What seemed like an ordinary after-school labor of love for my parents became the forging ground for my faith. I look back at those precious moments and I thank God that He changed me. Those times of prayer had no rush order status because I refused to leave until I sensed God's presence and peace. I truly believe that I am ministering today because of my faithfulness in those little tasks when I was a young Christian. God can use anything and anyone He chooses to fulfill His great plan. I never thought in a million years I would be a minister of the Gospel while I was using that mop and bucket.

Zechariah 4:10 (New King James Version)

10 For who has despised the day of small things?

Reader, never despise the day of small beginnings for God sees everything and uses the crisis situations to form you into what He wants you to be. When you feel insignificant, under-appreciated, overlooked, belittled, stereotyped or mistreated, just reach for "Mop and Bucket" experience. Though the circumstances seem overwhelming use it to get closer to God.
