So this week is really going to stretch me, because I am teaching with Shamus and we have 2 VBS’s and 3 clubs. In the morning we teach by ourselves then afterwards we teach together for the rest of the day. So it’s interesting and tiring but I’m really blessed for this opportunity of getting to preach the Good News. (:
Club 1: Since Shamus is teaching in Calmar at 9, I have to get dropped off at my 10:30 club about two hours before it starts. I got to the church, and had a good time of prayer and devotions. There were 22 kids who came which was so exciting. I taught 3 of the kids my first week and some of them have been at 5-Day Clubs before. As a result many of these kids were distractions during the club, so please pray that they won’t be tomorrow and that I can find ways to keep them engaged too.
Club 2: Shamus and I taught this one together and we had 10 kids come. There were 2 brothers that I taught last week with Grace last week. So during the club one of the brothers said:
“Hey where’s Grace ? I thought you guys taught together all the time.”
Haha I’m pretty sure everyone thinks that. The problem was these 2 boys was they were a distraction at points during the club, however they listened well during the stories. So just pray that we will do our best to teach them, including the churched kids and encouraging them in their faith.
Club 3: So this one is a VBS so we came to this one in the evening. It’s at a park, but when we got there the park was empty. So we prayed for the VBS and for that community specifically. It was a good time, and later a family did come. Even though they were invited they didn’t come, so that was pretty disappointing. So pray that kids will come to this club.
We are going to be having another club this week, so it’s lots of driving for Shamus. So pray for him having energy during the clubs, and just for kids hearts to be soften to the message.
God Bless,
Gwyneth
