Robert has been with us at the JDC since the very first time we went. And he was also one of the first to pray to receive Christ as his Savior. We have also gotten to meet with Robert quite often on Sunday afternoons. Last Sunday we offered Crossroads Bible Institutes Bible Study to him and one other young man. On Thursday I asked if they had filled out the enrollment form. Nope -- neither one had but Jericho (:-) Yes, he knows the story of the city of Jericho)told us "to keep bugg'n us". Today upon arrival we were told that Jericho had left the JDC. So enrolling will be totally up to him - he is on his own. (Please pray for the Holy Spirit to work on his heart that he will send this enrollment in.) But Robert came with his enrollment all filled out. PRAISE THE LORD!! It just so happened that we have some of the CBI lessons with us and were able to show them exactly what they would be getting into. I will be mailing this out for him on Tuesday.......as they have no access to stamps at the JDC.
Please pray for Robert and this new adventure he is willing to take upon himself. Pray that he will be true to this commitment. CBI is not real hard material but it is a time commitment on their part!! Once he leaves the JDC it might become even harder for him to continue......as he will get back into the same environment that he was in before JDC. He told us that when he was younger he did go to Sunday School...and this lady who was his SS teacher is still in the neighborhood but very elderly. We do have his address and phone number so will be able to get in touch with him.
Three of the girls did not want to visit with us. But we have not let this bother us. Perhaps we have struck a hard spot for them to face..... We did the 10 Commandments last Thursday......
Thank you for the prayers you have been lifting up for these special young people. They are becoming very dear to us.
