Bible Club under our home-made "rain-guard"

Thank you for praying for the Bible Clubs. The sky was very clearly threatening to shower us with most untimely blessings, so we resorted to buy a tarp and make a tent to make our Bible Club "weather proof!" It was quite amusing watching Ben and Brother Davis fighting the huge wind gusts to get it set up.

We ended up with three children from the neighborhood and the six children from the church. Two of the visitors were children from the Davis' homeschool group and one girl had seen the fliers and her mom decided to bring her. We were SO excited!!! I used to get excited to see fifteen or twenty children come, but how thrilled we were just to have three! The little girl was hard of hearing and was about eight years old. She and her family are moving in a few weeks in order to enroll her in a school for the deaf, so we won't be able to follow them up about church. The other two visitors were the pastor's kids of another church in Hinton.

We also saw the family from Albania that I wrote about in one of my previous posts. They were just playing in the park both nights that we had the Bible Club. We were able to talk with them for a bit, but unfortunately they are moving soon as well. They left this week end for vacation and will be home in a few months to pack and move to Edson. (about an hour and a half outside of Hinton) She made a special effort to tell us goodbye and thanked me for the long chat we had when they visited the church a few weeks ago. Pray that the Lord will continue to bring them across our path and that we can reach them with the Gospel!

The longer I am here, the more I see that people just don't desire to know the truth. Oh, that God would open their eyes to see the emptiness of the pleasures this world has to offer! Pray that God will make their hearts hungry and cause them to see their great need of Him!
