What Would You Do to Save Someone?

An old man lived on a hill that overlooked the ocean. At the bottom of the hill was a public campground where people come to pitch their tents, hike along the beach, and play in the surf. One day the old man was looking out at the ocean from his window when he noticed a huge tidal wave bearing down on the campground. He knew that the people who occupied the campground below were doomed. He had no phone or any other way to warn them from his hillside perch. And he knew that if he attempted to run down to the campground, by the time he got there, he would be wiped out, too.

 
 There was only one thing to do. He grabbed a book of matches and set his house on fire. Within minutes the people in the campground noticed the smoke from the fire and rushed up the hill to try to save the man. Just as the campers made it to the top, the tidal wave reached land and completely destroyed the campground and everything in it. But the people were saved.
 

The summer is winding down and school is starting a few weeks. All of our students will begin school back in August and we have several students in college as well.  I would like to challenge you during the month of August to pray for our students, teachers, and administrations of our area schools and colleges. On August 7th we will have a special time in our AM worship to pray for our students, administrators, teachers, etc. Come out and take part in that service.

 

Let’s all join together and make 2022-2023 the best year for our students and the ministry we have with our schools.  Let’s pray that many students, teachers, administrators who are in need of a savior will find Jesus this year. I hope to hear your prayer stories and the great impact your prayers are having.
