God is so good. All the time. When we see the impact we are making and when we don’t.

Yesterday I asked for prayer for a little boy in my first club who raised his hand but left before I could talk to him about asking Jesus into his heart. WELL. Today he accepted Christ! And two others in that club did too!

In my next club, yesterday I had no kids. Today I had 1! He comes from a rough home and knows nothing about God or anything. He thought that “God” and “Jesus” were just swears. So being one on one with him was the best thing for him because I got to go into a lot of detail about all of his questions (and he had a LOT of questions. God knew what that boy needed and was looking out for him. He said he wanted to accept Christ but when I got talking to him about it he really didn’t understand. He had a lot of fun so he plans to come back tomorrow! Please be praying that as the week goes I will be able to explain everything well so that he can understand.

In my third club I had 3 decisions!! All three of them went to a club that Lauren taught the week before (also at Nickel Lake) but hadn’t become Christians. But when I gave the invitation all 3 wanted accept Jesus! Just another example of how you don’t know how much of an impact you are having. Those three didn’t accept Christ in Lauren’s club last week, but the seed was planted. And then this week they made decisions! God is just so good.

So today 6 kids decided to do a 180 with Jesus 🙂

Praise:

1. The boy from yesterday accepted Christ 
2. 6 kids came to Christ
3. There was a kid at my second club

Prayer:

1. God to continue to soften the hearts of the kids and parents
2. That the kids who come to Christ this summer (all across Alberta and Sask) will continue to grow spiritually after the clubs end. And that they get plugged into churches!

Thank you for your prayers, we serve a God who hears and answers.

So I got lost going to my first club today. Well, actually… I ended up at the house that my itinerary said buuuuut that wasn’t the hostesses house. Awkward, I know. But it wasn’t too bad because the people at the house I showed up at weren’t home. Their dog wasn’t too impressed, though. I ended up calling the hostess and figuring out where to go, and I was only 5 minutes late. It was a fun little adventure to start out my day.

At my first club, one boy raised his hand (when I gave the invitation) but ended up going inside the house after the club and didn’t come out. I was pretty bummed that he left without me being able to talk to him, but since he’s the hostesses kid he will be back tomorrow, so I will be able to talk to him!

My second club was at Nickel Lake (at the campground) but there were no kids!! 🙁 So me and my billet’s kids (my billets are also hosting this club) went around and tried to advertise. Where are all the kids??? Not at Nickel Lake… We decided to move the club to the evening in hopes of having more success.

My third club was in Weyburn! But there were no kids. So back to advertising! I am hoping and praying that some kids will come tomorrow.

Nickel Lake Round 2! So, as I said, we moved the Nickel Lake club from 2:30-3:30 to 6:30-7:30. This was a good move because we had two girls (plus 3 of my billet’s kids)! We also have two or three boys who want to come tomorrow, so pray that their mom lets them!

I can’t believe it’s only Monday… I’m way too tired for it to be only Monday! But it was a fun, adventure-filled day 🙂

Prayer Requests:

1. That I will be able to talk to the boy from my 1st club about asking Jesus into his heart. (And if it was fear/ doubt/ etc that made him leave that God would be working in his heart)
2. That kids will come to my club in Weyburn
3. That more kids will come to the Nickel Lake Club (and that the girls who came today would come back)
4. ENERGY! Tomorrow shouldn’t be as busy as today was, which is good. But if you could pray for energy for me I would greatly appreciate it! 🙂
5. Boldness. (see what I did there… 😉 ) I want to be a light outside of my clubs and talk to people God puts on my heart about the Gospel… so I would appreciate prayer for bravery as it is scary to approach someone you don’t know and boldly tell them the Good News.

Peace, Blessings, and all that good stuff,

Janessa.
