Summary

SummaryHi, Iโ€™m Maxwell. I started going to Hope Community Church and joined the kidsโ€™ videosโ€”church felt fun for the first time! During a fundraiser, we wanted to send Bibles to kids in Haiti in their own language. After Hurricane Matthew hit, I was heartbroken. I felt God nudging me to help. I typed letters asking for support, and with my momโ€™s help, we mailed them every day ๐Ÿ“ฌ. One day, we got a surpriseโ€”cash in the mail with a note cheering me on! I felt excited, nervous, and full of purpose. I brought the donations to church, and we got to buy Bibles ๐Ÿ“– for those kids. I pray theyโ€™ll read them and come to know Jesus too ๐Ÿ’–. All glory to God who stirs even a kidโ€™s heart to do big things! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Summary

My name is Maxwell McKnight, and Iโ€™ve been coming to Hope for a few months now. I still remember the first time I joined the kidsโ€™ videosโ€”it was fun and unlike any church I had ever experienced. One day, during a fundraiser, we brainstormed ways to make money to buy Bibles for children in Haiti in their own language. When hurricane Matthew hit Haiti, I felt deep sorrow and a strong desire to help. I rushed to the computer, wrote a heartfelt letter (which my mom checked and helped print), and we sent those letters every day. One day, as I stopped the car to check the mail, I received my first donationโ€”a cash gift with a note wishing luck on my project. That moment filled me with nervous excitement and affirmed my commitment to spreading the gospel. Bringing those donations to church and using them to buy Bibles was an experience that truly ignited my faith in action.
