Hello Everyone! Well…I think I’ve waited long enough to write a blog. I am teaching two clubs this week. One is at Oungre Park and the other is at Nickel Lake.
My first club this week is out at Oungre Park. This is the second week this summer that we have been able to offer club to the kids in this area. We work around the swimming lesson sessions to be able to reach different kids. We had an awesome response during the first set of lessons. Its been exciting to see God’s hand as we have been able to host clubs at the park for 6 summers and because of the open door many boys and girls have come to know the Lord or have been spurred on in their walk with the Lord. The park is somewhat quiet this week and even the swimming lessons aren’t full so its been more of a challenge to find kids to attend our club. I had 4 kids on Monday then on Tuesday it decided to rain and be extremely windy so my attendance dropped to 1 child. Today it was nice and sunny outside so I was thinking that there would probably be more kids but it was just the one kid again. Please pray that God will supply children to come for the last two days and encourage the boy who has been faithfully attending.
Weyburn seems to be a difficult community to find willing host families but God always provides in His perfect way and this year the regional park was more than willing to let us host not just one club but three, isn’t that amazing. I taught my first week at the park and I had 8 kids at the club. The first day I was in the middle of telling the extra story and it started pouring rain…I thought that I was going to lose all of the kids but they all stayed and we moved the club somewhere else where there was shelter. All of these kids weren’t from around here and were camping at the lake for a few weeks. Three of the kids loved club so much that they said they would go the next week when Janessa was teaching the club. So I prayed that they would go again the next week. Sure enough they did, and Janessa led all three of them to the Lord! God is Good 🙂 This week the first night I wasn’t sure if there would be any kids because there was a tornado warning in our area and it was very windy. It was 6:15 and I was starting to think that it was going to be a no show…then all of a sudden I see four girls running toward me to come to club. At the end of the club that night I had 8 kids in total. On Tuesday it wasn’t very nice weather…it was raining and there was extreme wind so there weren’t any kids that day. Today I went there expecting to have kids because it was sunny outside. But when I drove into the park it was dead so I waited for a few minutes and no one came so I went to the park beside where I was having the club to do advertising but nobody ended up bringing their kids. Tomorrow is the last day for this club. If you could just pray that God will soften the hearts of the parents to let their kids come to club.
Thanks for your prayers,
Lauren
