So here is a quick over-review on how today (August 11) went.
Club #1- All 8 kids from yesterday were there today, and most of them did their lessons! Some of them also said verses, and when I left the Tony story in a cliff hanger, all the kids said, “NOO!!” and wanted me to go on. Also, one young boy who is unchurched accepted Christ today, and he completely understood what he was doing!!! The young girl who accepted Christ yesterday also seemed to be more excited and attentive about the club 🙂
Club #2- The joyful girl who came yesterday brought two friends today! They paid attention to everything and were always smiling during the club except when they were focused intently on the stories. Also, these club hostesses were very kind to me and offered to have me stay for supper. It was very delicious! 🙂
Club #3- The club started a bit late because the kids were going around the neighborhood asking even more kids to come! In the end, there were the original 7 kids with 3 new ones, and all the adults joined in again! During the club, there was another boy who often biked past and glanced at what we were doing. At the end of the club, he came up and asked if he could be part of the club too, so I gave him a package and told him to come next time. Pray that he and all the other neighborhood kids will come! Out of all of these kids, only 4 of them are churched, so pray that these kids’ hearts will be softened and accept the gospel, and that it will continue to spread in their neighborhood!
As I was driving home, there was a beautiful sunset, and it helped me look back on the day and see how brightly God shined through me today!! I saw the kids’ joy grow as well, and it is an encouragement to see. Pray that the light of God will continue to shine out the devil, and that God will continue to provide me strength for the rest of the week!
“In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” -Matthew 5:16
God bless y’all!!
