I'm a little late posting this, but better late than never! We dressed Joshua up for Halloween so he could get some "cannee". He wasn't able to visit many houses since it was Revival at our church, but he hit a few, and brought home his treasures! We always look forward to the evening the children come around to our house, because it gives us an opportunity to witness for Jesus. We hate just giving some candy and nothing else. For many years now we pass out a children's tract, or an invitation to a church-related children's activity. This year we passed out invitations to a Good News Club we were planning to start in a store-front building in the middle of our little town. The following week (last week) we did have our very first Good News Club and had sixteen neighborhood kids attend! We're excited about this opportunity that God has given us, and we're praying that many children's lives, as well as their families,will be changed because of it. Please pray for this ministry as you think of it.
In addition to the children' s ministry we've started, God has helped us go to a local Nursing Home every Sunday afternoon now for quite a few years ... at least three and maybe four or more. It is a joy to see the smile on the faces each week as we enter the Activity Room, trying to win them to Jesus, and bring encouragement into their lives. We also were asked to have a service in another Nursing Home, possibly once a month, in addition to the one where we already minister. We did have a service this past week there, and it was a real blessing to see a crowded room with family members present, as well as patients. We're praying about the future opportunity that has come our way at this Nursing Home.
I will try to post pictures in the near future from the Good News Club and possibly the Nursing Home. Once again, your prayers are much appreciated! We don't want to sit idly by and do nothing for God. Time is short and there are many souls to win.
Very good! :) God expects His children to be busy building His Kingdom, and it's kind of cool to think that we can all be in different places throughout the week, yet we are working toward the same goal!
