A few weeks ago The River of Tampa Bay began planning a Spanish Christmas outreach. Many details were discussed and many man hours were put in to prepare for such a large event. So, after many hours of prayer and preparation the day finally came.

The first thing I saw when making the corner into the church property was a parking lot about a quarter of the way full with the cars of the many volunteers who were there about an hour and half before service. Also we had eight charter buses parked out in front of the church getting ready to make there rounds .This was expecting I knew that was going to be a big day for Jesus and we would get to be a part of it.

This was to be an amazing experience. To see so many of Gods people work together for one purpose, SOULS, was so encouraging. I believe that it was a life changing day for the 1335 people in attendance. We saw over 300 River members serve in the ministry of helps. With 345 people answering the altar call. To be apart of something that has such an impact on eternity was a huge honor for us all.

Pastor Rodney closed the service, but the day was not over. Pastor Eric then made the announcement that it time for us to give away the toys and the boxes of food; After the church emptied into the parking lot, many children were blessed with toys that were given to them in the name of Jesus. To actually get to physically show these children the goodness of God is awesome .But not only were the children blessed; the adults were given food that should last them about a week. Which means we were able to feed them spiritually and physically. This is what people need to hear and see, how much God loves them. We are so thankful that God is using us for His plan and purpose.

This past Winter Camp meeting was awesome. I really had an opportunity to plug into the ministry and serve, helping out in children’s church and the book store. It really gave me an opportunity to grow and serve in areas I wouldn’t traditionally serve. People came from all over the world and United States. The people were hungry for God, the fire of God fell and people were set ablaze and freed. It was such a pleasure to interact with everybody and got to know the friends and loved ones who came from out of town. I truly got to know my fellow classmates and their families and histories a lot better. What a privilege. Ted Shuttlesworth was here and I was able to sit in the service during his healing service. What a powerful time. People were healed in their physical bodies from sickness and disease. The sanctuary was packed with people who were hungry and came expecting to receive from God. Pastor Rodney gave away revival media players, and blessed people. The worship was powerful and you were really able to intercede and step into the presence of God. God has taught me so much about patience and diligence, and consistency. I’ve come to realize more and more and especially during camp meeting that consistency will produce more results than intense effort. For those who come to know the Father must know that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
