Cool, I can even blog off my phone! 🙂 So this is how my week has been going so far.
Club #1- I started with two kids- one who is the hostess’ daughter and a boy from the neighborhood, who is coming because his mom wants him to start learning about Jesus and Biblical things. This boy accepted Jesus on the first day- Praise God!! It was very cool on the next day because when I started explaining how Jesus came down and died to save us, he stood up and started cheering, “I believe in Jesus!” and did a little happy dance!! Also, I had four more kids today, so this club is up to 6!
Club #2- For this club and the next, Danae and Abby have joined my clubs because their out-of-town club was cancelled. This one is up to three kids, but it is hard to teach because they don’t pay attention well and, for the most part, don’t listen attentively to the stories. So pray that these kids grow more attentive and interest in the club and aren’t as distracted.
Club #3- This is a VBS at the Filipino church, and we are up to 37 kids!!! I enjoy teaching this group and interacting with them by helping with crafts and just talking with them. Even today a group of girls ran up and asked if I would sit with them, and it is very neat to hear the stories and experiences that they share. Our friend Jayden is also helping us at this club, and it’s so great to have many hands serving the kids here!
Some prayer requests:
-That more kids will be open to coming to clubs, especially the first two
-That God would settle the kids down in Club #2 and that they would focus more
-That I would be more confident and empowered with God’s strength as I teach, as I am very tired lately
“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself (Jesus) may be in them.” -John 17:25-26
God bless y’all!
