I was again reminded this week that we never really know the impact that our minsitry has. A family this week requested that The Salvation Army officer conduct the funeral of a family member. I went to visit them and talk though the service.
I discovered that the family had requested The Salvation Army becuase Major Harry Webb had left a wonderful impression on them. He had conducted their parents funerals in 1989. Twenty-one years later, with no contact with The Salvation Army in between, they remembered Harry and came back to our church.
Be encouraged. Some days what you do may seem to have little impact. By being there, doing things faithfully, serving God honorably you are changing lives and they will remember.
