Thanksgiving Outreach, Life Transformation Church, Columbus God gave us great weather for the Thanksgiving Outreach, and Life Transfor - mation Church showed up in a big way. From young to old, we had more than enough people volunteering. The highlight of the day came when one of our kids discovered that it was the birthday of a lady they had served. The child asked my wife if we could sing ”Happy Birthday” to her. So, after she finished eating, we sang “Happy Birthday,” and she was in tears and thanked us for being so kind to her when it seemed like the whole world was against her. We served over 200 people. For a couple of families it was their first time serving with their kids, so the conversations were interesting. We had the children handing out the “Heart of Thanksgiving” gospel tract, and they were inviting kids to come to church because of the good snacks, which made us laugh, and learning about Jesus. We had someone at every table to engage with the people, share the gospel, and pray. We all echoed the same thing at the end, “What a joy it was for us to be here! When is the next one?” – Pastor David A.
