Carol Anderson, Stonecroft speaker, had their attention. Thirty moms, grandmas, siblings, volunteers and DADS attended the PressPause meeting held at the Little Lighthouse in Tulsa, OK. December 7, 2010. The school exists to help handicapped children ages birth through six years of age. The children attend tuition free. Their teachers, professional therapists, and volunteers celebrate every tiny miracle as little bodies grow and cope with challenges others cannot know or explain. Carol's son attended the school and it was there that Carol discovered the Light of the World when her boy's teacher introduced her to Jesus Christ. She shared her story of how disappointment turned to gratitude as she learned to love her son and he loved her in return. She read scripture and clearly presented the gospel to the attentive audience.
For just an hour the dining room of the school was alive with chatter, laughter and good food. Encouragement flowed and the Little Lighthouse Founder and CEO Marcia Mitchell was thrilled that "seeds" were planted in the hearts of parents who hunger for hope.
PressPause volunteers baked casseroles & brownies, served the beautifully decorated tables and washed dishes, giving the family members an opportunity to STOP for just an hour of their busy lives to consider the Person of Jesus Christ. After enjoying the free luncheon guests picked up eight copies of the gospel of John and eight copies of Stonecroft's publication "A New Beginning" as they returned to face the rest of their day. PressPause p.s.46.10 is reaching into the community and lovin' every minute of it!
