Sharing Christ with Friends

This week Makayla was invited to a birthday party. She was talking about what kind of a birthday present she was going to get. Then, she looked at me and asked if she could get her friend one of her favorite books. And, I said sure if we can find it. What one is it? Then she said "Gigi God's little princess treasury". She said that she wants her friend to know she is God's princess. I was so proud of her, what a wonderful idea! Makayla has a passion and desire to see her friends know Jesus! And, I am so proud to have a daughter who is proud of being a christian and willing to share it with everyone.

Term two of school has started here in Australia. And, along with it we have been having excellent attendance at kids club. We have been having between 12-14 kids. And, we are focusing on friendship. Please pray for the next two weeks, because we are going to have the kids focus on bringing a friend. But, als pray for Chris and I as we have been pretty overwhelmed during kids club. We have had kids from ages 3-10. And, for some reason the older kids seem to misbehave more than the younger kids. So, please help us soak kids Club in prayer. We also have had three new kids from the Easter Egg Hunt and a few more say they are going to start coming. This is fantastic news.

The church is starting this sunday a series on evangelism. We are going to focus as a church on reaching the families that attend Kids Club, but do not attend church yet. This is a huge step. Sometimes it almost feels like our church has two different churches. Becuase on fridays at kids club we have only one family that actually comes to our church, which is incredible! We are reaching families, we just need to pull them in. And, our youth group is really strong with families that attend our church.

Recently we had a new girl named Michelle come to youth group. She is quite quiet and reserved. But, as I have gotten to know her, she is an incredibly strong person. I would like you to all start praying fr Michelle .Michelle is a cancer survivor. She had brain cancer and her parents just asked me to start teaching her piano lessons as well. I ask you to pray fr her because her family is not Christian. But, I believe that God has a plan fr this family and for Michelle's life. So, please help us in praying for God to open a path for us to share Jesus with her family!
