Rushing into the tent, wearing blue scrubs and carrying a cooler, the surgeon frantically searched for her patient. Only minutes later she was in the middle of heart surgery to replace a heart that had been damaged by the effects of sin. It had become ugly and withered and could no longer pump the life giving blood that brings joy and happiness. With a new and pure heart ready for transplant the surgeon needed to act swiftly if she was going to provide the patient with a second chance.
On that particular day, I personally had the opportunity to share about the love of Jesus with over 400 people that had come through the children’s ministry. I had partnered with Convoy of Hope and ministered alongside Gettysburg Masters Commission and Masters Commission Mid Atlantic . By playing the character of a heart surgeon I was able to capture the attention of kids and adults alike. Our hearts are much like the heart of the patient I was frantically searching for. We have allowed the ugliness of sin to push out the purity of God. We all need to ask Jesus to cleanse our heart and our lives and gives us a new heart ready to receive the beautiful things of God.
I offered people the opportunity to have their lives instantly changed through the forgiveness of sin. As I presented that free gift, that only Jesus can give, hands throughout the tent were raised. It was my privilege to pray with them as over 60 kids and adult who gave their hearts to Jesus that day.
We must seize every chance to share the Good News with others, especially the children. Together with Convoy of Hope and hundreds of volunteers the city of Hagerstown was changed and souls were added to God’s family.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matt 19:14
