Bold Service

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline."

As we serve at Superkids this weekend, I encourage you to serve with boldness. Boldly love the campers, boldly serve the campers and boldly express encouragement.

As a young person growing up in a church in Sugar Grove, Ohio, I am grateful for the example the pastor was to our church. He boldly loved each person in our church family. If you needed him to visit a sick family member at 2:00 in the morning, he was there. If you needed someone to listen and help you through a tough situation, he was always available. He told us he loved us every Sunday and showed it by his actions.

Serve boldly! Serve with zeal! Serve the campers with genuine love. I guarantee you will have an incredible weekend and the campers will never forget you!

I love you! See you at Superkids!
