On Friday September 9th, the church began its official campaign to shower acts of kindness and love upon the teachers and staff of the Dudley Primary School. I met with the principal and told her that we wanted to adopt her school and provide breakfast items for the teachers and staff on a regular basis. To put it mildly, she was amazed and deeply appreciative. We decided that Friday mornings would be the best time for such a gift.
Our first act of service was warmly received. Cindy Workman took ham biscuits, pastries, tea and soft drinks to the school. Some of the teachers asked her what she was doing and she explained the items were from the church. One teacher wanted to know which church. Cindy said, “The one on the corner below the school.”
When I picked up my children that day, Jacob’s teacher came up and thanked me for the items.
This is servant evangelism at work. Doing something for someone else as a sign of God’s love towards them and expecting nothing in return. We are letting the teachers and staff know that we appreciate their hard work and, more importantly, that God loves them—and so do we.
If you would like to get involved in a breakfast outreach every other Friday to the Dudley Primary School, then sign up and take part. You will be a blessing to others and, I think you will receive a blessing in return.
