Come to me as little Children
posted by
We just ended another incredible year of Good News Clubs at our local elementary school. God was so faithful!
Seeing many of these dear children come to know Christ as their personal Savoir and then grow in their walks with the Lord with such great enthusiasm was a miracle in and of it’s self! Their childlike faith was such an encouragement to us all. Christ was at work and we were able to visibly see it every week!
God has such wonderful plans in store for these young lives. And we just wanted to say thank you to you all for your prayers. The testimonies and answers to prayers that we received this year by taking the time to invest into these children have left us in awe of God.
God says to step out in faith and to leave the results in His hands in all areas of life. Yet how often do we expect to see things go according to our expectations! God really taught us this year the power of trusting Him. He showed us the confidences we can have in Him when our hearts are stayed on him!
We are rejoicing in what God did and thank you for your support through your prayers! Without you all lifting us up before the Lord who knows what would have happened! Oswald Chamber has a very insightful quote and how true it is! " Prayer does not lead us to the greater work. Prayer IS the greatest work!"
Phil. 1:6
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of
Jesus Christ:"
Praise the Lord! Is it true that one of the Bible Club girl’s dad commented: “Whatever you’re teaching them sure is working!”? That’s a powerful testimony! Your work and labor of love is not in vain.
It was something like that, Esther. Praise the Lord! Now we must pray fervently for their parent’s salvation.
Jennifer, I appreciate the well written conclusion of the year. Your organization and attention to detail really made this year a success. Among many, the weekly snack preparation, timely reminders not to forget things
, and zeal to reach the hearts of the children inspired me all year long. I desire the same wholeheartedness – Thank you!
