Journal Entry from Pen-Pal Day:
Today was Pen-Pal day! I was hoping all my students would show up but I am so grateful, God sent not all but one! I was extremely happy when he walked into the sanctuary.
He was dropped off at church by his sibling. He walked really slowly down the aisle and sat with me and my family.
You feel nervous?
Yes.
Don’t worry, you will enjoy yourself.
Pretty soon, he was standing up and singing the songs and even shouting HALLELUJAH and praise the Lord!!
The next day at work I over heard him telling his friends, you missed it! I went to Ms. Lilly’s church!! You didn’t heard the man (Bishop Green) say praise the Lord!
Every pen-pal day we get an influx of visitors…and usually someone gets baptized. This time, no one got baptized that Sunday but a visitor who visited for the first time on Pen Pal day came back to get baptized on a week day!
