For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. Psalm 139:13-14

 

“Would you like to pray and ask Jesus into your heart?” the group leader asked.

“No, I like the devil’s games better.”

This just happened a little over a week ago – not with an adult group or even a teenager group.  This was the answer of a 5 year old at Kid’s Club!  It’s true that kids may not understand the implications or maybe are repeating things that they heard an adult say. But if we take them serious when they accept Christ, we must also take statements such as these very seriously.  We are praying for little “Luke”, that God would soften his heart and draw him to himself.

February was very busy with Kid’s Club at Jose Olaya every Saturday. It’s VBS time during summer school break.  The theme this year was “My birthday is special”. The sub themes built on it – God made me for a purpose, He wants me to follow Him, and now I need to make a choice.

We helped act out three stories – I’m not a Robot, Elijah and the false prophets, and the 3 Hebrew Children.  The skits DEFINITELY made impressions, especially Denver, the robot; dumping water on the altar and it still “burned”; and the fiery furnace with the sparkler fireworks that wouldn’t light. L  They were talking about it weeks after!  And that is what we wanted to do – impress upon their memories these lessons.

One kid except Christ for the first time.  Another kid wouldn’t pray because he didn’t believe that Jesus was coming again.  After group leader explained in simple examples that we need to be ready at any time, he was willing. He in particular is wise beyond his years in spiritual things. Several kids are now coming to church.  It is impossible to calculate the final impact of this year’s Kid’s Club!

Please join us in prayer for these kid’s. God has a plan for them!

Blessings,
