PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSING FLOW

7th and 8th Graders ---Clayton (2 years ago), Floyd (Tues.), Timothy (2 years ago), Miles (did not yet), Jailyn (Tues.), Kelsey (this summer) and Shania (Tues).
Daniel, Jasper, Rodney, Tyra, Vera, DonShay, and Kelsey
5th and 6th Graders ---- ALL of them asked Jesus into their hearts - plus Matthew (who we didn't get the new full group shot because of our excitement).

It is so awesome being in service for God!!! We are so in awe of what is happening with Promised Land. This past Tuesday we had the older groups. Words just can't tell you what it felt like with the 5th and 6th graders. EVERYONE asked Jesus into their heart. We are posting their photo again just so you can see and pray for each one.
These kids are so serious about what they did. And again it is so wonderful that we will be able to hopefully nurture these young people. Pray for us that we give them God's word in a clear and truthful manner!
The sad thing......we don't have Promised Land next Tuesday because it is an inservice day for the teachers.
For those of you who have been praying so faithfully.....THANK YOU!!! YOU are the reason this is happening. You are praying for the kids and for us and God is hearing and answering your prayers. Please, Please keep it up!!! We can't do it without prayer!!!
Gary and Barb
P.S. If you have been praying for us just "being out here....and all that".... Rest assured that that prayer has been answered too because we are happy here. We MISS our family and friends but we know God is watching over them all and so we are good with that. Winter could prove to be lonely.....we shall see......

What blessings children are and we are always happy to see little ones and big ones come to Jesus.

Know that your little grand babies big and small are so precious. I was able to sit next to Holly and Dennis in church today and enjoy the care they show their children. Little ones are so precious.

Blessings to you this week

Hey Gary and Barb,
You are being prayed for!! We talked about all the great things which are happening in your mission work with the kids tonight at Revolution, in our small group. It is so awesome how God is working through you guys and many kids are accepting Christ as their Savior! You are making a huge difference. Thanks for being obedient. Take care.
