My Redeemer Lives

And, so does yours. He is alive and wants everyone to know Him…even the weary, worn and the weak.

Hot Dogs, Puppet Show and Egg Hunt

On Saturday, we went to a park in a poor neighborhood and shared the Good News that Jesus is alive. Many children and adults were there. We served 240 hot dogs. The children really seemed to like the puppet show as you can see in the video. We will be following up with many parents that expressed a desire for us to give their children a ride to church on Sunday mornings.

It was fun. There was no mistaking why we were there. You can read it on the t-shirt. When I told parents we wanted to bring their children to church, feed them breakfast and teach them about Jesus, they were very receptive. There were many conversations about where people were in their lives and how they need God. One 18 year old young man,who had been baptized in jail, asked if I could help him learn more about God.

Many people were touched, including the volunteers. My Redeemer lives… and getting to tell others about Him is really great!

Thank you for your prayer and support. This could not happen without your help.

3 Reasons They Keep Coming

Joel Tardy — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:12:48 +0000

I met with the elders last week to discuss the 10:10 Children ministry. They asked why I thought the older teenage boys keep coming back each week.

The best way to find out why someone does something is to ask them. So I did. This is what they said.

It’s Fun.
You Get More Attention in a Small Group
You Learn the Bible in a Way That Makes Sense

Check out the video and see what some of the boys said.

Love That Surpasses Knowledge

Joel Tardy — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:23:57 +0000

Ephesians 3:19 tells us that the love of Christ surpasses knowledge.

I have spent a lot of years trying to learn about the love of Christ. Trying to know more and understand it. Is it really possible to know something that surpasses knowledge?

One Thing I know!

Love is the reason Christ gave His life for us.

Unconditional love from God.
To us.
Through Christ.
He chose to do it. I don’t deserve His love and I can’t earn His love. He loves me because he wants to.

We Love Because He First Loved Us. 1 John 4:19

The love of Christ has no limits. He showed His love by giving His life for the sins of the world. He died for every child and every person. That is why we tell others. That is why we tell these children. There are many children (and adults) in Lubbock who have never heard of the love of Christ.

Many have heard about church and laws and rules, but few have heard about the unconditional love of God found in a relationship through Jesus Christ. Our desire is to seek out those who have not heard and tell them the good news of Jesus Christ.

Thank You!

For praying, helping and volunteering. If you are not involved and want to help, please let us know. There are many children who have not heard the good news.

Pizza – Fun – Football

Joel Tardy — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:21:54 +0000

I told some of the older boys in my class that we were having a football party at our house with lots of pizza and food. One boy asked “How much pizza will there be.” I said there would be all you can eat.

His response: “All right, I’m coming.” You will notice in the video that he’s the one holding two pieces at the same time.

As I was taking the children home, one said, “this has been a fun day.”

Thank you for your prayer and support as we continue to love these children and teach them about the good news of Jesus Christ.

Colorful Christmas Breakfast

Joel Tardy — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:50:39 +0000

On Sunday we brought about 25 children to church from the apartments. During Children’s Church we used 5 colors to teach the children about Jesus. We had green plates, golden eggs, black forks and chocolate chips, red strawberries and white whipping cream.

Black – Sin

Seperation from God
Death

Red – Blood of Jesus

Jesus died for us
Jesus paid the price for our sins

White – Clean

Jesus makes us clean
Jesus makes us right with God

Green – Life and Growth

Jesus gives us new life
Jesus helps us grow in our new relationship with God

Gold – Heaven

Streets of gold
We get to live with Jesus in Heaven forever
