One child at a time...

Servolution Tulsa was busy today helping widows, visiting elderly in nursing homes, and cleaning up vacant homes and lots. While one of our teams was mowing and cleaning 2 empty lots in north Tulsa, a woman from across the street came out and asked for help. She was a widow, her husband had died 2 or 3 years ago, and her back yard had not been touched since.
Later a team was sent out to clear her yard. When they started it was a literal forest. Those awesome volunteers worked hard for about 8 hrs to cut down and clear out overgrown brush and trees. Many trips in and out of the back yard eventually produced a brush pile 5-6 feet high and the length of two city house lots.
The result was well worth it. The woman's grandchildren were so excited because they could now walk through and play in their back yard instead of in the streets. They were also so happy when we told them how much Jesus loved them, and took every Easter invitation we gave them because they wanted to invite their friends to Guts Church.
Going out and serving is a real life example to others around us of just how much Jesus does love them and cares for them right where they are.
What are you doing to be an example?
