I thought the title for this blog was suitable, seeing as it rained and stormed ALL day…giving me quite the adventure.
My first club was a VBS held inside the church, so the rain wasn’t a problem at all, thank goodness! I had 17 kids attend this VBS, which was amazing. Although I had a few kids in the club that wouldn’t listen and were very disrespectful to me and the other kids around them. They would complain about everything, and didn’t have a desire to learn about Jesus what so ever! Pray that the rest of the week would go well, and that those kids that weren’t listening would be “turned around” and would desire to know more about God. Although those kids were a distraction, the club went well seeing as there were 6 kids who accepted Jesus into their heart today! 🙂 It was such a blessing to be able to lead them to Christ. They were all around the age of 10 and were VERY serious about accepting Jesus into their heart, and were also super excited!
My second club didn’t go as planned, it was pouring outside, and the club was suppose to be held at a park across from the church. For the first 15 minutes no one showed up at all, and I was worried about where this club was going to be held. Anyways 4 kids ended up going to the club, and we ended up having it on the front steps of the church protected from the storm. Praise Jesus! One of those kids was a Muslim and his mom sat through the whole entire club, and was VERY interested. At the end of the club when I gave the invitation 3 of the boys who NEVER heard about Jesus before, accepted Jesus into their heart. I made sure that they were certain that they wanted to follow Jesus…and they said that they wanted to be changed, just like Zacchaeus! it touched my heart ! Now the Muslim mom told me that her and her kid were Muslims, I asked if she would like the little book of John that I gave the other three boys, and she gladly accepted. Please Pray that the rain would stay away for the rest of the week, so that we would be able to continue to have this club, in a more comfortable setting. Also pray for the mom and her kid who took the book of John home with her, that they would come back 🙂 And Accept Jesus!
Now sadly…my 3rd club is cancelled for the whole week because it’s suppose to storm, and her club was to be held at the park! But don’t worry, she re-booked for August 🙂
It was quite an interesting first day! Got lost a lot….got stuck in traffic because of the storm! But overall 9 kids accepted Jesus! So I have a lot to be thankful for 🙂
