These are the 7th and 8th Graders.....
And these are the 5th and 6th graders.....Today we had the older groups for Promised Land. Once again everything went very good. Time flys when you're having fun and that hour really went fast. With the older groups it's harder to tell whether or not they enjoyed Promised Land.......you know.....they're at that "be cool" age. But we know they heard God's message because they were very attentive. Our message this week (and last week with the little ones) was based on Psalm 139: 14-15. And the Bible Verses were from Jeremiah. The K-4 had Jeremiah 31:3 I have loved you with an everlasting love. And the 5th - 8th had Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. We wanted the kids to know right away that they are unique and special to God.
It's really neat to have a young man sitting in the group who you know has no (or very little) knowledge of God...because his "mom" (she is actually an aunt but to this young man she is mom) sat down at Family Night and told us his story. Pray for this young man.....he seems to be a really nice kid but has had a tough life so far.
Thank you again for all of your support.

Barb -
We continue to pray for your ministry to the kids out there. We pray God will use you to reach many young people you might have never heard the Good News of the gospel. On another topic - would you be able to get the address for Lou-Ann Brave Hawk. The last card we sent her was returned by the post office. Her birthday is coming up in November so we'd like to send her a birthday card. Thanks!
