“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Dear Family and Friends,
From Scott: This winter break from June 14-16, I had the opportunity to help lead a Holiday Club (VBS) at our church. About 120 kids from grades 1 to 6 came and had fun while playing games, praising God, and learning more about him. The theme for the week was “A Techno Story,” which was about how we as the children of God are a part of God’s story and his plan for our lives.
I was in charge of the “Game Zone” where the kids would play different games each day. As leaders, we were able to reach out and set an example to these kids by expressing God’s love for them through our leadership. The kids were also given a chance to commit their lives to God and pray with the leaders. The thing I enjoyed the most during the week was just hanging out with the kids and setting a good example for them while being with them.
From Stephen: Holiday Club is a time during the school holidays when the kids come to the church from 8:00 – 13:00 during the day to learn more about God, learn memory verses, praise God, play games, and have fun. All three of us boys were leaders at the holiday club where we tell these kids about Jesus and reach out to them. Most of the kids that went to holiday club were either connected through the church or through the school and already had a Christian background, but we still got lots of kids who accepted Jesus into their lives and many who recommitted.
I enjoyed every minute of holiday club, even though our energy levels were running very low near the end. God also showed me during the week that we need to rely on him in our daily lives and that he has a plan and a purpose for every one of us.
From John: Last week I was a leader at holiday club. My two brothers and\ I were leaders there. It is a lot of fun and got to do fun stuff with the kids there. The leaders stayed at the club and they ate there which is cool because we got to know the other leaders better. I met a lot of new leaders there that I didn’t know very well. On holiday club, God told me to think of others more than myself and to help others.
I also really liked the last day because we made two huge banana splits and the kids on the two teams had to try to finish their team’s first. It was a lot of fun and a good way to end the club.
Thank you for prayers and support!
