I just wrapped up an incredible two weeks sharing P.R.A.Y. with our partners at Girl Scouts of the USA and Scouting America. The emails waiting in my inbox are a constant reminder of how these programs truly shape the lives of youth and adults. Thank you, Susana, for your inspiring conversations and shared ministry—I am so grateful for you.
Hello Jason,
As we will be celebrating our third pinning ceremony on Sunday August 9th, I wanted to express my appreciation for the P.R.A.Y. religious emblems program.
My relationship with Jesus gives me a deep desire for others to know Him as well and serving as a counselor for the P.R.A.Y. Religious Emblems Program has given me a meaningful opportunity to put that desire into action. The hope, peace, and joy that come from walking with Christ are gifts I want everyone to experience. It has provided a natural way to talk about my faith with children and their families, to openly share the love I have for Jesus, and to encourage others to begin or grow in their own relationship with Him.
I've also been blessed to see families who may not have otherwise attended church walk through its doors because of this program. That is something I never take for granted. Every time a child or parent hears God's Word, I am reminded of Romans 10:17: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." I've also witnessed seeing someone go from not knowing whether God even exists, to now having faith that God exists. I know that's only the beginning. We may not always see the results immediately, but God's Word never returns empty, and He is faithful to work in the hearts of those who hear it. I am incredibly thankful to be part of a ministry that points children and families to Jesus, and I pray that the lessons they learn and the seeds that are planted will bear fruit for the rest of their lives and into eternity.
