The fun get to know you game

Today was another one of those days. Well, I guess it started on Tuesday, when Heather got to spend time with her Mormon friend. She is a homeschool mother of 6 (one of whom should be making her appearance in a few weeks). :0) Gretchen and I are forming a relationship, please pray for our friendship and for the truth of the gospel and the free-ness of grace to penetrate her heart and life. Then yesterday Brian and I were able to meet with an old friend, Christine. It was great to be able to mutually encourage one another. She is a follower of Christ and it was great to hear what He has been doing in her life the past 8 years.

Then today, we had the awesome privilege to host a kid's club at the overlook apartments in Denver. We were thrilled that 11 children came this time, none attend a local church. All heard the gospel clearly presented, the state of their sin-filled hearts and desperate need of Him. Each one participated in the review game (a chance to see if they actually heard and grasped what was taught) I was sooo excited when Karla, an eleven year old, clearly shared nearly word for word what Brian taught about the state of man's sinfulness and Carlos, 9, shared how that leads to our need for the Savior, Jesus Christ. These unchurched children we excited to take Bibles home with them. Each one learned a Bible verse, Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the earth." We discussed so many great things. With Bible clubs of this nature (in a HUMONGOUS apartment complex), it's difficult to know if these children will ever return. With that in mind, we mix things up a lot, keep things moving, and try to share many things from the scriptures! Each one is excited to return on the 11th for our next kid's club. Please pray they will read the Bibles they were given, share them with their families, follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and plug into a local body of believers!

All in all, we are overjoyed. Thank you so much for praying for our ministry. We know the Lord is faithfully listening to the prayers of His people!

Exciting Week

Well, this week was GREAT. It was one of those weeks you just have to blog about, just so you can read it later on a down week. Brian and Josiah went downtown to do open air evangelism. They prayer walked, spoke to a few people about salvation, and shared the Gospel. One lady they met was very interested. We are praying that the Lord will work in her life. On Thursday evening, Heather had the privilege to share the gospel with one of the moms at Josiah's soccer practice. It was the first time the ladies had ever met, and she was sharing with Heather all the struggles she is facing with her adult son, the oldest of 7 children, who has gone astray from how they thought he would turn out. It was a great conversation. On Saturday, they talked again. We are praying for further opportunities to share, and for the truth to transform! Later, we got to have a great conversation with a teenager and her mom who are really struggling in trusting the Lord. Truly this was a really encouraging week. Thank you, Lord, for times like these when we can see your hand leading and guiding us and working through us in spite of ourselves.
