Luke 21:1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

| 2 Star Apples / Five Finger Fruits presented to Brother Khrystus today by an 11 year old member |
This morning after our 8:30 am Dare 2 Be Different International Victory Centre - www.daretobedifferentskn.com Worship Service and just before our weekly FREE BREAKFAST, an eleven (11) year old boy approached me and said, "Brother Khrystus, I don't have any offering today, but I brought these two STAR APPLES for you. Thank you for always caring for us."
Water rarely comes from my eyes now, after all I've been through in my life and around the world you know that I'm a tough head, but THIS 11 YEAR OLD BROKE ME THIS MORNING. What a humbling word for me after a sermon and well responsive altar call.
It's not that I do what I do looking for money or gifts or THANK YOUs for preaching or writing devotionals and inspirational stories globally to help and inspire others not to give up. It's not that I look for things in return for doing all the good that I ensure that our ministry and KVK ENTERPRISES - www.kvklives.com business does locally, regionally and internationally, but I'll be UPFRONT AND HONEST, A little THANK YOU now and again and a simple GIFT AT TIMES really TOUCHES ME DEEPLY.
Just like the little boy today who brought me two STAR APPLES, or the lady who brought me a plate of food on Christmas Day as she reads all my emails and wanted to do something special for me personally without any LOVE STRINGS attached, or the gentleman who handed me US$20 while on a public bus the other day and said, buy something for the children, I read all your emails or the lady who saw me in the BEST BUY GROCERY and added some snacks to her basket and paid for them for our children or the gentleman who traveled overseas and brought back a box of goodies for our youth members or the lady who passed by a few weeks ago and brought some tracks and Bible Story Workbooks to use after Bible Lessons or the reader from overseas who promised to send a few items to help our ministry periodically or to help in some little way for our Satellite Vacation Bible Schools 2015.
When it RARELY HAPPENS, and when people locally, regionally or internationally commit in some way to help once or ongoing, I am humbled and moved that there are still a handful of people who still CARE A LOT that are left in our world today.
Honestly, its the very few people who say thank you or do something small or big for me or my ministry or even respond to a blog entry, social media post or hit reply on their email and say THANKS for making them smile with my comedy or tell me how blessed they were with an inspirational message or whatsapp or call me and tell me that my struggle stories keep them crying and I must not ever stop what I'm doing or the person who offers me a suggestion or advice or tip to keep me on the right path.
THOSE PEOPLE MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND I HOLD THEM EXTRA CLOSE TO MY HEART. Supporting a ministry doesn't always mean GIVING MONEY. The little 11 year old boy is now a global testimony of that - JUST LIKE THE STORY OF THE WIDOW'S MITE.
Those who look out for me and my Dare 2 Be Different International Ministry, let me PAUSE TO GIVE YOU A VIRTUAL HUG AND KISS ON THE CHEEK OR HANDSHAKE and say A BIG PUBLIC THANK YOU FOR GIVING TO THE LORD.
I am encouraged and empowered even MORE to continue to do what I do because YOU KEEP ME GOING! MUAH!!!!!
May God continue to richly, richly, richly, richly, richly bless those of you who support our Dare 2 Be Different International Ministry in someway and for those who DO NOT SUPPORT, may God still bless you and your family likewise.
WE LOVE ALL OF YOU THE VERY SAME WAY!
