At my home church, in North Georgia in the early 1980s, I was a Bus Captain for one of the five buses we had in our Children's Bus ministry. A very busy time of my life, a young single preacher boy, working a 40 hour a week job, going to Bible College at night and singing in the youth and Adult choirs. Not to mention the weekly live radio program at our local AM radio station. (just a great time!!) The buses were the yellow school buses, bought and repaired for the bus ministry. Our bus drivers were very interesting men. They had to have CDL licenses to drive the bus and many of them were 18 wheel truck drivers, retired and current drivers. Their part in the ministry was very important. And I remember seriousness and a forward attitude for their part that they did for the Lord. Driving for the bus ministry. They served God the best way that they could and enjoyed it. And we would have one of those testimonial meetings, and the tears would be shed and a brokenness was heard in their voices as they knew that they were serving GOD the best way that they could in their life. They would stand and share what was in their heart about serving GOD in that aspect of the ministry. It just brings a smile to my face and warms my heart to remember their tears of happiness and helping attitude. They loved God and they serve Him gladly.
God bless you neighbor, before service, there must be salvation. Call on the name of the Lord and be saved, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said "I am the way the the Truth and the life, no man can come to the Father, except by me" see John 316 and John 3:36.
