And more overwhelming opportunities......

On Wednesday and Thursday a couple of guys by the name of Rick and Mick were out in the area doing school assemblies during the day and in the evening they would have a Pizza Blast party. You can find them on their Website: www.rickandmick.com. They are internationally known....have been all over the world with their program.....and it was great. We did not go to the school assemblies but were invited by my aunts sister to come and be Counselors at the pizza blast. On Wednesday we went out to Valentine and enjoyed a hilarious program. There was an illusionist and then Rick and Mick......and a group from the school who put on a "grecian urn" skit. Let me tell you there was a LOT of water squirting around as these men became a fountain......and then a bunch of people in the crowd were also recipients of the water...... How I wish we had had our camera along to get a movie!!!

Then on Thursday evening they were at the Todd County High School. We arrived late for the program but were available again as counselors.

Many people came forward at each invitation and we were able to go over the 4 Spiritual Laws with them. It is so overwhelming!!! Gary had all 5 of his chairs full and he went over the booklet with them and they filled out the response card. Then when the chairs emptied a little girl came over - Alexandria - and sat down and said "now it's my turn."

God is at work here on the reservation.....some would say that these people have heard this message over and over again and they respond over and over again. But perhaps it's going to take hearing it over and over again before it finally hits home and they fully understand. We must NOT grow weary in giving Gods Good News!!!

Another bonus of going to the TCHS pizza blast was that we got to see MANY kids that we have been in touch with.....and met a few parents.

God Bless!

Gary & Barb -
So glad to hear of your new opportunities to witness - at the high school and detention center! We'll pray that the Holy Spirit works in these hearts to turn the head knowledge into acceptance of Christ into hearts. Many people here are praying for your work out there :)

Be encouraged that God is using you for His purposes. As you are stretched to a new shape in almost each new blog entry, know that God wants you and I to not go back to our old shape. God- make us all a new shape and put us where we should be in this world. Mold us, shape us, create us anew. Thanks for sharing all new experiences.
