Today we were pleasantly surprised with three new families at Bible Club! There were so many people that we had to go get more snacks. We ended up with eighteen children all together, and only six were from the church...that means eleven visiting children were there! Two of the moms are planning to bring their children and visit the church.
Once again we were grimly threatened with black skies and gusty winds. We could even see rain off in the distance. But we stepped out in faith and set our little blue tent up anyway--driving our stakes in deep and praying God would hold back the downpour. He did. As a matter of fact, we didn't even get a sprinkle until we stepped through the door at the house. Literally as soon as we shut the door, the bottom fell out!!! God is so good. He truly is in control!
Pray for these young families that we will be attempting to follow up. We do not know if they are born again, but they are full of questions and say they will be back.
Be encouraged, as we have been today, that truly NOTHING is impossible with the great God that we serve!!! What a privilege to be called His child. What an honor to serve Him. May His will be accomplished in all that we do!
(pictures will follow soon, I promise!...just haven't had a chance to upload yet)
Rejoicing along with you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read the details of the Bible Club. I really like the 'tent' idea. It is all very exciting:)

ReplyDeleteHey Ben and Kelly,
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to see how the Lord is using you in Hinton,
Just looking through your blog, and seeing what the Lord has allowed you two to experience so far is thrilling. I envy you two, in a good way. May God continue to use you, and may He teach you so much more about Himself in your time remaining there, Please say a quick to Pastor Davis, and wife and kids. Look forward to seeing what the Lord will continue to do through you two this summer,
for His sake,
Ben Langman
