Kids ministry went so well this week. The kids are starting to get used to praying to God!!!! At first only a couple of the church going kids would pray out loud, but this week was so encouraging because we had all the younger kids hold hands in a circle and pray for the older kids in the middle, then after each older kid laid hands on two younger kids and prayed for them. There were still some laughs and gigels (which I love) of awkwardness, but the older kids are really starting to get it. They are becoming much more confident in praying out loud, in public, and for people!! Seriously I dont know if you have lead kids in praying for one another, but it fills your heart with such joy!!! Seriously so much joy!!! It will be incredible when these kids are leaders in bringing the kingdom, but even now it is just so incredible to watch their hearts!! Then we all jumped around and praised God afterwards. Yeah God!!!

This is so awesome! I totally can relate to your joy at watching kids learn to pray out loud! It was some of my favorite times leading Integrity and Sunday School when the kids would begin to really pray!
I can’t imagine, if it brings such joy to our hearts to hear those prayers, how much joy it must bring to the Father 🙂
praying for ya brother~
Its fun to hear about our ministry with the kids. This is the best age to reach them for the Lord and to teach them the value and practice of prayer and learning God’s Word. What you’re doing is so important and meaningful im their future. My memories of kids Bible clubs we enjoyed years ago and have seen the fruit as they grew older. We rejoice with you and can enter into the fun with you.
Love you

Hey Everyone!!! Who knows if you will look at this, but I lost my password to log into this blog account, which I can get it from my mom, but I wanted to write today because I know it has been a while.
God has been doing some great things. We had a meeting for the prayer house yesterday, and it seems like it is going to be a long road, be we are still pressing on with contruction and exciting plans to get the community involved.
God has been doing great things in my heart too. He just loves us way to much to leave us to laziness. This past week he really inspired my heart to read the word a lot, and it is so full of life and power. It was a great week. God is so amazing.
Wow – I’ve been praying earnestly this week that your hunger for His Word would be great right now!
Hey! It’s so good to read about your ministry over there. I know you commented a while back, and I never got back to you, but thank you so much for the encouragement! Hope you all are doing well over there and trust that the Lord is doing some crazy stuff. Keep making disciples, and see you in a few weeks!
