Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities! I just wanted to share that Big Dave our Royal Ambassador and I made it back to Florida after an adventure filled trip in Tennessee and a God blessed Expo there. :-)
It is always amazing to see God work through the hearts and minds of his people to do such great things. We are blessed to be a blessing and in God’s economy we are always blessed in return which pretty much sums up this year’s Access-Life East Tennessee Expo.
We had great teams of volunteers from New Freedom Missionary Baptist Church and Shady Grove Church on top of our SUPER Ministry Intern, Hannah Grace Spradling [as well as Jerry Carter who transported our equipment trailer with a last minute notice] that were right there with us every step of the way before, during and after the big outreach. We even connected with a few new churches like Mt Vale Church and First Baptist Church of Bean Station and loved seeing Jesus shared through the Gospel bracelets activity, Prayer and Care booth and even the Bibles that were in each goodie bag.
The exotic petting zoo with a baby kangaroo, monkey and mini camel was a big hit along with the horses from Ridin High. :-) We also gave 50 boat rides on pontoons to over 400 attendees and there was even a 12 lb carp caught at the fishing activity! All of the activities flowed with blessings from the Lord to so many individuals and families living with disabilities that we are so grateful for God’s presence permeating the Expo as always and filling so many people with His Joy.
We’re still working on wrapping everything up but wanted to say thank you to everyone who prayed, served and gave to this outreach. May God bless you richly for your time, resources and generosity!
Hope and pray you enjoy the photos and collage! You can visit the East Tennessee page on our website at Expo in East Tennessee – Access-Life for mor pictures, too. :)
