I just returned from Harrisburg, PA and a great weekend of ministry with Convoy of Hope. With a tremendous group of volunteers we set up the event site, cooked hot dogs, passed out chips and drinks, worked the kids zone with some even volunteering to be dunked in the "dunk tank"! The weather may have had something to do with the volunteers' eagerness since the sun was shining and the sky was clear.
With over 900 volunteers we saw 4500 guests enter the site and take advantage of the many fun activities, medical and dental exams and information, community services, haircuts, groceries, and all of it FREE. Everyone seemed to have a great time and we even got invited back to the area for next year.
I enjoyed meeting Samanatha, an intern with COH that I hadn't met, and working with Michael Redmon and Hugh Duncan who I always enjoy teaming up with on the outreaches.
All in all I can say God showed up and I believe that many were touched by His presence and the willingness of the volunteers to be used by Him. We had over 200 decisions to accept Christ as their Savior at this event so some Kingdom business was definitely done!
