#Jubilee50K Challenge Tenessa One day, during recess time, I saw a classmate fall down while she was running. Even though she was taller and bigger than me, I immediately went to help her. She had hurt her knee and it was bleeding badly. I helped her up and accompanied her to the General Office. She thanked me for my help and now we are even closer as friends.
Siblings Tenessa and Josthan Chua may be young but God allowed them to impact their world in a very big way through the #Jubilee50K Challenge.
Through the #Jubilee50K Challenge, I’ve learned that we should always help when we see others in need. I’ve also learned that no matter how big or small we are, we can always bless others. We just need to be willing to help. Josthan Earlier this year, after finding out that my grand-uncle had a stroke and could not walk or talk, I made a card for him. In the card, I wrote a short prayer of healing and a reminder that God loves him.

When I visited him at the hospital, I gave him the card and asked if I could pray for him. He nodded in agreement. As I prayed for God to touch and heal him, he started to grip my hand very tightly. I felt something warm stir inside me; it’s a feeling that’s really hard to explain but I know it was a touch from God. I believe my grand-uncle was also touched by God because he started to tear during the prayer. Today, grand-uncle can walk normally and talk a bit. I believe God will heal him completely and that grand-uncle will accept Jesus into his heart soon. Through the #Jubilee50K Challenge, I’ve learned to take every opportunity to bless someone in need. We can be a channel of God’s power and healing.
