While we have spent most of this school year walking through the book of Proverbs with the kids, we decided to take a break and underscore the basics of Christianity with a 4-week series that explained the gospel. We also changed the set-up of our Friday times: we found that we had so many girls coming that the boys were less apt to show up (that will change soon enough!), so now we essentially have separate times for the boys and girls.
I was just reminded this past week that Student Venture’s presence at the middle school has a greater influence as well. While the kids were engaged with our college volunteers, two different teachers unexpectedly dropped by. I had a wonderful opportunity to encourage each one of them - one was overwhelmed by the demands of balancing work with his young family and the other is taking steps towards recovering the faith she enjoyed as a child. What a blessing to see God at work in a place that does not, at first glance, seem to be open to His presence.
Please pray:
- On Fridays, between 2:45-4:00pm, for kids to remember to come! And for God's peace to reign and that distractions would be minimal.
- For each child that comes to grow in his or her knowledge of God and His love for them.
- For the Lord to continue to work throughout the middle school community - adults and students alike.
