Greetings Saints
It's about 10:05 PM as I begin to write here.
Camp was just awesome! Picture 180 highly excited children doing a camp during school; it was a little challenging to calm them down but oh the blessings were so rich. The word here when children act up is naughty.Some of the boys especially were very
"naughty" but it was from excitement, not being bad. These are our future leaders, Pastors and etc; live wires; gotta love 'em.
We did the special bracelets today and will be doing the prayer booklets with them tomorrow.
Also giving out Wordless Books to all the students tomorrow asking them to take them home and study them to remind them what Jesus did for them and to use them to tell their friends. Please pray.
Pastor Steven shared during assembly and tomorrow I'll be sharing using the Gospel Bag; please continue to pray.
Sarah shared her testimony today and Rhythm will be sharing hers tomorrow. Yes, we plan of videotaping her as we did Sarah's today.
Two special testimonies/Godincidences
As David explained the colors of the Wordless Book, a young boy who was H.. told him he couldn't do that because he was H... David shared that it was OK, Jesus loves H,,,, also, in fact he used to be H.... At that point the boy said OK and listened intently as David shared
After the children in my class finished the bracelets, I asked Rhythm to explain the Book to the children again. She was incredible as she went form color to color explained with great enthusiasm sharing also how God wants us to pray and every time we have problems we can always go to Him and He hears our prayers. As well done as any presentation I have ever heard. Then we had Divia come and explain it using the large flipper flapper, she also did great. Thank you Jesus. Would that we all had the enthusiasm for Jesus these girls have.
Make it three special testimonies! Seems many of the children went home form the 4th ngade camp and shared Jesus with their families using their WOrdless books and bracelets. Go God Go!
Tomorrow, the plan is for Pastor Steven to do counseling with Isaac Jr., He will do the first session, Isaac Jr, with him the second and then Isaac on his own for at least one session. Please pray for Isaac and all the counselors as they share His love.
After returning home to the base here, I had the joy of having lunch with the staff as we celebrated a first birthday and Pastor Isaac shared an update.
Please continue to pray for Pastor. He starts his medication tomorrow. A combination of very powerful antibiotics that he will need to take for one year. There can be side effects, please join us in praying for very nominal side effects and for a total healing as Pastor looks to Jesus. Pray also for the family, staff and church as they seek to come alongside of Pastor and minister to him as he has ministered to them these many years.
Pray for our camp tomorrow also, Gloria will be staying back with Isaac. Please pray for open hearts, for a double filling of the Holy Spirit and for the love of Jesus to flow through us to all we see.
Please continue to pray for the Wordfest as these 37 young people are challenged. Pray for the Lord to raise up warriors that would come and stand beside us and pray for radical life change as the Word of God is opened for them.
Shine on all. This old guy is crashing.
Have a fantastic day with Jesus as you share His love with all you meet.
Until Every Child Knows,
