From the mouths of babes...

We're always hearing about how we, as Christians, should be out there telling other people about Christ. Well let me tell you . . . in Gainesville, Florida, there's a 9-year-old girl doing just that!

What an awesome story! Sarah's actively involved in missions and outreach. She recently went with her family on a international church mission trip to Brazil, and every week she goes with her mom to do community outreach in local neighborhoods. Sarah openly shares the Gospel with other children that she encounters, and she often carries an Evangicube to help her illustrate the story of Jesus's love. It's so encouraging to see a child have such a passion about sharing Christ with strangers!

And talk about a challenge . . . are you . . . and am I . . . that passionate about telling others about God? Is there really anything more important than praising God and sharing His love with everyone that we meet? We could learn from someone like Sarah. And I truly believe that God has great things in store for this young child who is already actively – and passionately – serving Him!

"And Jesus said, 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My Name welcomes me.'" – Matthew 18:3-5, NIV
