20+ kids...Homework Help!!!!

Our homework help program is really beginning to take off. We had 20 kids today come to seek help with their homework. It looks like the word is out with the parents. More and more kids are coming in for help. Praise the Lord! We decided to not only offer homework help but to also let the kids come for board games and art.. the catch is that homework must be finished before art and games can begin. We are thinking about the possibility of increasing our homework help from two days to 4 days each week. We have prayed a long time for this to happen and the Lord is finally blessing our work and helping us to move forward.This is Genesis pictured above. She is one of our regular friends. She saw our chain decoration around the and decided to create her own chain for her bedroom. She is a good girl.The best part of having the kids come for homework help is that we get to share the Gospel. This is my partner Meghan pictured below sharing a word from the Bible with the kids. They really listened to the study closely. This Saturday we will be having a Christmas Party for the kids. We really got out and played it up today. Mark Whitley's Sunday school class from Mountain Park FBC will be hosting the party. We are really excited and blessed that they are coming and the kids can hardly wait. We are so blessed to be able to work with such beautiful and eager children.

We hope those of you who read this blog will get a sense of just how diverse God's family really is, and how His love abounds for all his people. I often wonder what language we will be speaking in heaven.

Please pray for our party this Saturday that we will be a reflection of Christ in the lives of all who come.

We Love You All!
