incorruptible crown

Our church is almost done with our Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) and let me just state for the record on how proud I am with our young people and volunteers...they have conquered Sariaya, they have overtaken Las Pinas...and now for our last stop, Paranaque! Our young people have shared their all to their students...they have done a great job in sowing the gospel seed into the hearts of the kids...let us continue to water them with unconditional love and fervent prayers.

Volunteering for an evangelistic event like DVBS is not an easy task. This is not a paid event where you are compensated with money...this is something even bigger that any substantial amount. Your decision to genuinely help out and be used by God will be replaced with something incorruptible...something eternal in value. I like how the Apostle Paul said it in one of his epistles...he stated that runners run the race to gain something that will never last...but we, as believers, run a different race with a different prize. We do it for a higher purpose!

In two weeks time, the DVBS fever will be finished and long gone. I pray that the lives we touch during these events will gain the opportunity to grow in God's grace. I hope and pray, that the kids we ministered to during this week will be used by God for his own glory. Let's run this race with a perspective of eternity...run for an incorruptible crown!
