Arise

Thursday, April 29, 2010

Arise is an organization that helps people who are mentally challenged. This was Amy's booking :). Good job Amy!

They had a nice space... everyone was so excited about our being there! We performed 'You Are Special'. Very appropriate... So many times the world sees these people differently, but God sees them as unique and special! Because Arise is government funded we were not able say God and Jesus. I pray the Lord spoke right to each one of the people watching! After the performance- the demonstration- was quite funny! The people LOVED it! We had on man, "Butch", and he loved putting people in order and in line. He loved being in charge!!! One lady, as I was showing her 2nd position of the arms, she reached over and started tickling me... haha!!! She had a thing for tickling people. She got Breanne and Ashley also! There were so many stories!
They provided refreshments which was so nice for mingling with the people afterwards. One of the neatest parts was the 'jumping over the star' and seeing the people in wheelchairs being pushed over the star... they all had a blast!
The Lord indeed has made these people so Special!!!
