Catching Up On Things

This past week was really a busy one. We worked on several fronts to advance the Gospel. In our business things are never cut and dried. Adjustments regularly have to be made at a minutes notice. Understand when you deal with different cultures like we do, it pays to have a patient attitude.

Last Monday we had 22 kids show up at the mission along with 7 volunteers. it was a mad house!! Praise the Lord for the extra help. Wednesday we virtually had the same numbers with only Meghan and I to handle the load. Looks like its time to do a little reorganizing.

On Wednesday several MSC Missionaries had the opportunity to meet with Jeff Hammond President of NAMB at Clarkston International Bible Church. We all had the opportunity to tell him about our individual missions etc...

The last half of the week has been rain, rain, rain. We really need it, but it makes it hard on ministry. People just don't come out of their homes in a deluge.

I am sorry about the lack of photos, but my photo storage site is down which makes it impossible to retrieve them. I'll truly to edit this post and ad photos later.

We really have the potential to make huge strives this year. Pleas pray for us on two fronts. One that we can mobilize our volunteer base with greater efficiency. And two...the Lord will provide us the resources we need in in this recession.

We love you All !!!

We Had Major Fun Today!!!!

We spent most of our day in the mission field with great partners and good friends.

This is our future summer missionary Kati McLean. She is a good friend of the Harrell family and a former youth group kid. Cornelia, Kaitlyn and I took her on a tour of our mission area today.

After the tour we met up with Parkview Church to have a ton of fun with some of our complex kids. Weather permitting...we try to have someone in the complex every Saturday to be involved with the kids and share Jesus love. Parkview is one of our most faithful partners and we appreciate them for all they do.




Then every one sat down and had a snack and listened as the Gospel was shared.

Thumbs up on an awesome job!!!!

It was also good to have Cornelia with me today. Cornelia has not been able to join us because of her work schedule. It felt great to have her along.It also felt great to have Kaitlyn with us as well. Kati and Kaitlyn have been great friends for a long time. Kaitlyn is also considering becoming a summer missionary assistant as well.

The kids had a great time too.

Public School Ministry Update!!

This week I have had the opportunity to engage several students with the word. Several of these students have been branded has hopeless or impossible kids. Some of these kids simply have a bad family life, and with the current economic problems it places extra strain on their parents.

Yesterday I worked with the intervention department. This is the schools equivalent of a police station. They bring all the kids that get into fights, disrupt class, harass the teacher, harass other students etc.. Policy states that no student shall violate another students right to learn.

I was called to pick up two kids from music class yesterday that got into a fist fight. It's funny how the aggressor is the one that always claims to be innocent. Just like our kids at church eh. Once brought in to IR you have to interview the student...and many times you find out that most of these kids have some major things going on in their lives. If you don't mind being branded as a cop then its really a great place to minister.

Sometimes I find my self really feeling troubled at all the obstacles facing these kids. Nevertheless many of the teachers feel that angels fly around this school. You know I agree.

Please pray for this school. I can't mention it by name,because I don't want to blow my cover. If you would like to know you can email me at keithandcornelia@gmail.com.

God bless you all!!!!!

We're Back!!!

Hello everyone! Well it's been a while since we last blogged you. We have been so busy that we just have not had time to do the blog.

Since we last talked we were surprised with very cold weather and SNOW! Hey you know how unpredictable that March weather is here in Georgia.

This video was taken off my back porch. Man isn't that just beautiful?

This is our daughter Kaitlyn (pictured above)...She was really enjoying the snow. Just look how large the flakes are.

Unfortunately we were not able to visit our mission on Monday, but we did get there today.

Snow was a huge topic at homework help today. We herd all about it today as we returned to our regular schedule.

We were able to finally get our newsletter out today, so if you have been wondering what happened to it you should have in your box tomorrow.

I am going to try to get on track with the blogging thing, so stay tuned for more tomorrow.
