A summer preview

At the first sign of warmer weather we decided to move our weekday Bible Clubs outside! Each of our staff homes has a great backyard and lots of kids living nearby so, instead of waiting for summer, we began Back Yard Bible Club a month early this year.

Each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon we tote our boxful of markers, scissors, glue, and construction paper to a different location to lead Bible lessons, games, crafts, and other fun activities for neighborhood kids.

Attendance the first week was great! Many of the youth attending were involved in activities last summer and are looking forward to our full summer program which will begin next month.

Please pray for these club times... for the seeds of truth being planted in the hearts of the children, for deeper relationships to be built between us and their families, and for great weather because it's tough to lead Bible club outside when it rains! (Like it is today.)

Ariel and I had a great time making soldier puppets for our story about David & Goliath. But the wind was blowing so much we struggled to keep them within reach!

Jaya was extremely proud of her puppet. Usually a camera-shy kind of girl, she smiled brightly as she displayed her work for all to see!
