So… clubs… yeah
club 1: I get to teach with Nekaelly!!! Fantastic experience. We have had 14ish kids so far. SO much fun (but a bit rowdy. Its good to have two leaders)
Club 2: we had the hostess’ kids (3 of them) all week, as well as two kids who came yesterday from an unchurhed home. They referred to things like ‘a Jesus cd’ or a ‘Jesus story’. It feels like they have been taught negative things by their parents. They could only come for one day, neither of them made a decision. Today we had 3 more Christian kids. It’s funny how it seems to rain whenever one tells the Noah story. I was running low on time and had to tell the kids a 10 minute bible story… not to mention there was thunder. Lots of those kids were little and we’re panicking. I was just about to pray to close when a big drop of rain landed on my hand. I looked up at the kids and said “who wants to help me get the stuff inside?”
Club 3: got cancelled due to lack of interest. There were plenty of kids in the neighborhood but none of them came.
This week is hard, it feels like I can’t get close to the kids, I can’t hang out or play with them. I’m not putting as much energy into it for some reason. Lots of weird stuff has been going on in my personal life, it’s been one incident after another… does this always happen? Does every person who works in missions wake up in the morning and have to deal with new bad things each day? It feels like there’s constantly something wrong. And I’ve only been doing this for a few weeks… I can’t be the only one to face discouragement… but this is the first time for me at this level.
prayer requests:
1. For me to put more energy into my clubs. Maybe to build better relationships with the kids.
2. For more kids to come to the clubs (not just mine, but everyone else’s too)
3. For all the personal things that have been happening to me.
Thanks so much!
God bless.
