November Praise and Prayer

Clubs are getting into a routine.   Many Good News Clubs are starting their second series—which covers the life of Daniel.   The title of the series is God Rules:  Be Strong.  Daniel is a good example of God blessing faithfulness.   The reason for Daniel being put into the lions den was because his enemies want to get rid of him.  Yet he stayed faithful to his commitment to God and prayer.  God blessed his faithfulness.   Though Daniel we are reminded that we follow God not to impress others, but because of our commitment to Him. 

As we teach today’s children we don’t know what they will be facing, but do know that they will need to have strength to stay faithful to God.  Pray that they will be faithful to Him even in troubled times. 

Thank you so much for your investment in the ministry that God has called me to.   Because of you I continue to work to reach the children of Wisconsin with the gospel.

October Praise and Prayer

Praise the Lord for those who are volunteering to serve in Good News Clubs around the state.    In the last month I’ve processed over 300 volunteers for the ministry.  It is exciting to me to see the laborers God is raising up to teach the children. 

Another part of the ministry is equipping those volunteers.  In the last month I have been involved in several different trainings,  some in Southeast Wisconsin, but some in other parts of the state.  It is a joy to teach the Teaching Children Effectively Class in Portage.  There are three persistent students.  For one of the students, teaching children is a new venture,  yet his attitude is so positive.  He is willing to learn and apply.

On the local scene, clubs are getting started for the school year.  JYC are a little slower in getting started.   Pray for additional workers for these clubs  — most clubs are running with two people,  but it would be better for a third to join the team. 

Thank you so much for your investment in the ministry that God has called me to.   Because of you I continue to work to reach the children of Wisconsin with the gospel.
