A great Visual Faith event in Fort Wayne, Indiana
this past Friday evening.
Two members of Emmanuel Lutheran Church
in Fort Wayne obtained Thrivent Action grants
for $250 each.
Publicity in their own church forums,
as well as community outreach
and sharing on social media
brought in guests from a variety of communities.
This great team of L to R:
Lana Hille,
Pamela Bryan, Nayva Mulder,
Teresa Davis and Faith Harless
worked together bringing their own gifts
to plan and host a two hour Introductory event
for Visual Faith- that was FREE for participants.
I was able to bring
Show and Tell for this event.
Witness of the STORY
of what the Lord has done in my life.
So that I may witness to His faithfulness,
and encourage others in their own personal
IEP- Individual Education Plan
in their Spiritual Formation.
That they may BLESS OTHERS.
Concordia friends found each other
at the event for a hug and catch up time.
There were door prizes
and fun gifts for all attendees.
We tried some experiments with
Praying Scripture and Coloring.
We talked about ways to slow down,
pay attention and deal with distractions.
We talked about HOPE for a new story
in our prayer life and time in His Word.
A blessing for me was that there
were friends of mine
Praying Scripture and Coloring.

A blessing for me was that there
were friends of mine
from my
growing up congregation
of Bethlehem Lutheran Church,
Ossian, Indiana.
There were ministry connection friends
and a high school best friend,
and my two sisters.
Moms and daughters,
Old friends and new friends.
We learned how the VRSLY app on the iPhone
(and probably something similar on other phones)
could allow them all to be
deployed digital missionaries.
The Lord is blessing this movement
of Visual Faith and we give Him thanks.
