It seems kind of unnecessary for me to blog today, because pretty much nothing changed from yesterday. We had the same 9 kids (across all three clubs) as yesterday, they did some lessons, memorized some verses, said they might invite some friends, and then we had to leave.
The first club is great, the kids love it, they participate and are always excited when we arrive in the morning. They’re always disappointed when they don’t have any of their swimming lessons friends showing up, and always say they’ll invite more. We can praise God for these kids’ enthusiasm, and pray that some of the friends they invited will show up tomorrow.
Our second two clubs didn’t go as well today. The kids still listened but it’s hard to get a read on how much they actually enjoyed themselves. They keep coming back, but you can pray that they’ll engage in the club and really have a good time.
We’re going advertising again tonight, to try to get some new kids to show up. Please pray that that will be fruitful and we would be able to reach some new kids tomorrow.
Also, a lot of kids have said that they “were going to come”, but haven’t shown up. Please pray that tomorrow, those kids/parents would remember and that they would actually come.
One funny thing is that at our second club, we were just about to finish off with a song, when all of a sudden, a German Shepherd showed up on the gazebo, and walked around while we taught the actions. He was really friendly, it was just kind of random. And then he left right as we started the CD player. Then at our third club, the same thing happened with a cat! So maybe you could pray that God would help keep those distractions to a minimum!
Thanks everyone!

My name is Olivia Mile. I'm from Regina, SK. I'll be 18 in August, and I just finished grade 12. I plan on attending Nipawin Bible College in the fall. This is my 4th summer teaching 5-Day Clubs and I'm very excited for this summer of ministry. Some prayer requests I have for the summer are: 1. Safety on the roads as I drive this summer, and that God would keep my car in good working condition and there would be no issues with any of that 2. That God would make me effective in ministry this summer and that he would speak through me as I teach and that he would receive all the glory 3. That the children in the clubs I teach every week this summer would have soft hearts to hear the gospel and respond
