Project Promise

     Jason is really excited about the new project that his Teacher presented to the class.  It counts for one third of the final grade.  Now that he is in his final year of grade school he wanted to shine brightly.


     But, even more exciting is that the winner would be posted in the school newspaper.  Jason thought about it all.  He didn't want to do something just to be famous.

     He wanted it to be something that would make a difference.  So, on Sunday after church, Jason talked to his Pastor about it.

     Together they joined hands and asked the Lord for guidance.  The Pastor told him to listen carefully for the Lord's voice.

     Jason went home and prayed with intensity that entire week.  One morning he overheard his parents talking about an elderly woman in their neighborhood.

    She had no one.  Her kids abandoned her.  Her yard was in need of t l c.  Jason felt an immediate tugging at his heart.  He knew with certainty that somehow his project would begin by helping this gentle soul.

    So, he formed a determined team of friends from church and school.  Together, they got her yard in shape and worked on the inside as well.

    They all took turns to stop by and talk with her and help wherever else needed.  They even took her to church and were delighted when she was saved.

     Jason knew now what his project would be.  It was one that he hoped for that would make a difference.  He and the team reached out to others .

    But, when Jason presented his project to the class and for the contest he was disqualified.  His teacher told him that he couldn't mention God in any way.

     But, Jason knew that wasn't right.  He had to stand up for his beliefs and the God he adored and was everything to him.

     He and his parents filed a complaint with the state and won.  Jason and his team continued with his project and now new business. Project. Promise.

    He could feel God's love so intensely at work.  He won the school project contest and went national.  He was on television.

    Many lives were being helped.  But, one of the greatest moments was when his teacher came to apologize and was saved.

    Jason looked up, smiled, and said... 'How can I say thank you enough?'
