I think that one of the most gratifying things for me is to see kids that I taught in FACES getting involved with the church and seeing the seeds that I got to plant come to fruition. It's such an amazing thing; knowing that I helped them find God, and that my obedience to God has changed their life in some way or another.

I was just reading the list of kids who are going on the Victoria missions trip, and two of them are some of my former FACES kids from my first year. At that point--two years ago--neither of them had any church involvement at all, and since then, they've both become really involved here. It's such an incredible thing!

That's when I'm reminded of why I do what I do. I watch them grow up, and I see them change, and I realize that I had a little part in that, and that maybe, just maybe, God used me to make a little bit of all the difference in the world.
