Our Time at the JDC was again exciting. We have been going over different portions of the Book of Hope. Last night we went over the Trail of Hope, which tells about Jesus and his plan for Salvation. All the kids had a book to follow along and everyone was VERY attentive and followed along nicely. We sang Amazing Grace and WOW --- we could hear male voices --- it is so awesome!!!! The girls were sitting in the back so I couldn't hear them as good but we know they were singing too. They even asked to sing it again. We also sang When I am Afraid a couple of times and then OF COURSE -- the Banana Song.
Gary was able to pray with another young man...."Bill". Gary says he was very serious about what he was doing and seemed eager to start reading in the Bible.
Never underestimate the power of your prayers!!! We are so amazed when we come away from there.....that God is using our faltering words for His glory. We have a gal going along with us now. Her name is Julie and she is truly a blessing to us and the kids!!! Julie is a teacher and she is also a member of the Lakeview Christian Ref. Church where we go. The kids enjoy visiting with her and she has brought along some good visuals and good teachings.

We are expecting another winter storm starting tonight and going until Sunday. Doesn't sound too good for little calves.....or people ----- or roads. There are already some high snow banks and if the wind and snow comes as they predict we might be snow bound for a time. If the electricity stays on we will be snug and warm. If not --- we will snuggle under the blankets together :-) Will keep you posted.
Thank you for your wonderful support!
Gary and Barb

It is a wonderful thing how you week by week and step by step return to your work with the kids and how God always shows up! I love that. As I imagine how your evening begins and ends and your drive home, it must in some ways be exilerating and exhausting at the same time.
I suppose you could never record the singing, but what a sweet sweet sound that we could hear soemtime during a worship setting back at ORC.
I hope you continue to both be in good health and we believe winter will pass, but everytime you keep reporting another winter storm coming, it does and then we get it too. Can you report about some sunny warmer days? Then maybe we will get those too. Ha-HA!
We love and miss you both.
Looking forward with you to this holy week of the journey to the cross and the resurrection!
