Harps Crossing Baptist College Group

We had Harps Crossing Baptist college class on site today at Villas Neuva. They came to do games with the kids and play soccer. They ended up having several serious spiritual talks with several of the kids. We already know that Alfonzo and his sister Melissa are Christians. Their little brother, Carlos, is still a little young to understand but is beginning to be receptive.





Others older kids were offended when approached. They tended to try to mock and laugh at the team members as they attempted to bring the good news to them. The Harps group also brought tee shirts and hats; the scoffers gladly accepted those. I think that kind of broke the ice a little.



Also found out today that several older middle school boys are doing offensive things to some of the younger girls. Pray that God will give us a clear vision as to how we handle this situation.



I hope you all have a great Sunday and if you are down toward Mountain Park FBC, my home church, drop by "The Bridge' at 10:45 am.



Peace...Keith

News Letter day

Today we spent much of our day working on our news letter. We love to keep our supporters informed about what we are doing. The news letter is done and all we have to do now is to stuff and mail them.



Tomorrow Harps Crossing Baptist church will be returning to Villas Nuevo. They plan to bring college and older high school students. I know the kids and especially the mothers will be glad to see them.




In a couple of weeks our home church (Mountain Park FBC) will be bringing their youth group to do some much need clean-up work on the play ground and then they will also do a mini backyard Bible club scenario for the kids. I'm really excited and praying the they enjoy working with the children, but also I pray they make an impact on the lost.





I have been under a lot of stress lately, but I know the God is in control. Nevertheless the flesh sometimes takes over and despite what we know we should not do (worry) we do it any way. Please pray that I will allow God to maintain control of ever aspect of the ministry and my life as we strive to follow His will.

On the Road Again and More!!!

Cornelia and I have been on the road this week meeting with different church mission pastors. We are trying to gain knowledge and create a base of new partners. Hopefully they will see the value of reaching out to the international community and in God's will support our work. The area we work in has 90% if the worlds unreached people groups living there. We are so excited that God has given us such a wonderful opportunity to serve in such critical areas. We pray the he uses us as His instrument to impact people groups of the International Community.




Last week we worked with Broadus Memorial Baptist Church, the last of our mission groups to come this summer. They did a great job and the kids loved them. Cornelia and I just love working with church youth groups because they come on site with such great expectations and anticipation. Thanks to Zach and the group for a job well done.


One of the favorites each day was acting out Bible stories with puppets.




Even the boys got in on the act!!!


Gold Rush!!!!

Also we worked with The Gold Rush Team two weeks ago. 1000 kids serving in 32 locations. Gold rush is one to the largest outreaches in Metro Atlanta each year. We were asked to come to their rally on Tuesday night. It was awesome!!!! Thanks to the staff of Perimeter Church for a great event. The Photo above is the group assigned to one of our missions "Villas Nueva." They were well prepared and hit the ground running. Thanks team for all your hard work.
