How do you sign, “Here I am, Send Me”?

Arrow down to last Friday’s blog just below this and you will see a group of kids praying. Olivia Taylor, 6 years old, was part of that group.
She is Pastor Aaron Taylor’s daughter. She was excited to tell her parents Friday night that, while she was praying, God spoke to her down in her heart and said that she was called to minister using sign language. Apparently she had no previous indication of this. She is a sweet and very serious child and is already talking about where she can learn to sign.

It’s the “Who Knows?” factor in ministry. Who knows what the Holy Spirit is doing down deep inside a little child when he or she is kneeling face to face with God?

How do you sign, “Here I am, Send Me”?

PS. Pastor Taylor read this blog and just now wrote: Wow! I am still amazed by God. In fact, we found on Sunday that her Sunday School teacher, Elisabeth, teaches in Cleveland using sign language. She was so touched by Olivia telling her what Jesus said Friday night that she has offered to teach her to sign her memory verse each week. Olivia came home Sunday knowing several new signs.

Thanks again for being obedient to the Lord and having an impact on my children!

God Bless,
Aaron
