Hey everyone!

After not teaching for a year I am excited but also nervous to be back at it for my 3rd summer! I will try to blog as often as possible! This week I am teaching a club on a farm outside of Yorkton. I’m teaching alone but billeted with Anja who has a VBS in Ebenezer.

My club has 16 kids so far (and it’s only Monday) and the ages are 2-6 so it’s a pretty crazy club! To be honest I left the club feeling kind of discouraged because it was hard to keep their attention, I don’t know how much they were getting from my stories, the memory verse was rough because they can’t read, no one was singing the songs, et cetera. After I gave the invitation to ask Jesus into their hearts 4 kids put up their hands although they ran off after the club so I couldn’t talk to them. I would really appreciate your prayers for this club this week.

Also all of the parents (7 moms) watched the club which always adds some added pressure!

Prayer Requests:

1. That those 4 kids to come back tomorrow so that I can talk to them and hopefully pray with them
2. That I won’t be discouraged (and will be reminded that God works in ways that I can’t always see or understand)
3. That God speaks through me… My words are nothing without Him speaking through me. Pray that when I tell the stories the Spirit will be at work in their hearts and the things I say will make sense to them.
4. Soft hearts for the parents who are listening and that the non-Christian moms will be curious and ask questions before/during/after the club to either the hostess or to myself. 
5. Safety on the roads! I have about 2 hours of driving each day… and today I almost hit a porcupine that was already roadkill in the middle of the highway… (but i didn’t hit it so it’s all good)

Thank you SO much to everyone praying for myself and the other workers. I also want to send a HUGE thank you to my CeeGee, Dorothy Christopher, for committing to pray for me daily. I appreciate your prayers so much- God bless you!

Thanks for reading,

Janessa

Hi, I'm Janessa Robertson! I'm 19, from Regina, and this is my third summer teaching clubs! In the fall I will be going into my second year of university to get my education degree. I am so excited to see what God is going to do in the lives of the kids and workers this summer! Three main prayer requests: (1) Safety on the roads as I'm not very comfortable on gravel (2) Health and energy throughout the summer (3) The hearts of the kids to be softened and open to the Gospel
