So an update on Friday nights for those of you who've been praying (thank-you by the way!!!) :
We had our first official bible study last Friday night and there were 5 kids who attended! We did a game and lesson about Noah's Ark and how God protected him and will protect us too if we put our trust in Him. We sat on a grassy patch next to the bus and it went well but was a little too distracting of a spot. (Cars honking, fire trucks blaring by, the bus stop, etc) This week 4 of the kids returned plus 1 new one. We did our bible study on the bus where there is a small counseling room, just enough space for me and 6-7 other kids. I taught them about Adam and Eve and Psalm 139, how God created us and knew us before we were born. Then we learned that sin came into the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and we did the object lesson on how God can make our hearts pure again b/c of Jesus Christ. Anyway, I think for most of the kids it was the first time they had heard about Adam and Eve and that God loved them and created them. After the bible lesson and story they each got a prize for being good listeners. I was so excited by their hunger to know about who Jesus was and why he died for them. (We'll do that lesson next week.)
The last few weeks they have greeted me with smiles and hugs and I'm learning each of their names (that is a little difficult.) Please pray for my friends: Al Shaquam, Qualiel, Tasaan, Malik, Quayana, and Samantha.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm so excited about what God is going to do in these kids' lives! >>>>Darcy
