Something different I’ve been doing this summer is praying before each club and giving it to God. Asking Him to give me the words that He knows the kids need to hear, because He knows their hearts. So today as I was driving to my second club I was doing this, just giving the club into God’s hands and I prayed for 3 more kids to accept Christ this week in my clubs. I don’t typically pray for specific numbers, but for some reason I decided to ask Him for 3 more decisions before the week ends.

In that next VBS, after I told the Bible story 3 kids stayed back and asked Jesus into their hearts. 

God answers prayers.

There have been 6 kids who have decided to follow Jesus this week and even more seeds have been planted!

Two of my clubs are full of kids who started the week with absolutely no background knowledge of anything that has to do with God, Jesus, Sin, Heaven, etc.. so it has been so cool to be the first one to start planting those seeds in their hearts.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

1. That God would continue to speak through me and work in the hearts of these kids
2. That the kids who have accepted Christ will grow in their faith

PRAISE:

1. 6 kids have made decisions to follow Christ this week!!!
2. The weather has improved significantly and the clubs have ALL grown despite harsh weather
3. I have had safety on the roads even with driving 2.5+ hours on the highways each day
4. I haven’t had to drive on any gravel highways. (Cool story about this: I’ve been worried about having to drive on gravel, and I expected to have lots of gravel this week… but just a few weeks ago, the highway to one of clubs with the longest driving time was changed from a gravel road to a freshly paved road!)

Thank you for reading and for your prayers! We serve a good God. 🙂

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
