BIBLE CLUB!!!

with Jane...our dear friend, song leader and translator for Bible Club

About two months ago Elsie Jayne and Lucy Mae were looking through a magazine that Nyanya (Joanna's mom) had sent them in the post. They were so excited to see a young girl who had hosted a Backyard Bible Club in her yard and on the last day served ICE CREAM! JOY JOY JOY!!!  They thought this was the best idea ever!

We prayed together over the idea, knowing ice cream wouldn't be an option most likely! The girls asked Jesus who to invite, what days to plan for, etc. Well...finally the day has arrived. Tomorrow we welcome around 50 little people for our first day of Holiday Bible Club (VBS-in America!). We are so excited!!!
As Joanna prayed Jesus brought to mind the names of helpers!!! Will you pray with us for the team?! Billy will share our Bible story daily. Jane will lead songs and help with translation. Jack will organize daily games. Joanna (our 10 year old neighbor) will help serve snacks!  Jacob will make a pinata for the last day...our compromise to the ice cream complications of living in Arua and serving 50 kids! :)

Lucy would like you to know she is the greeter!

with the Waflers...Jacob, Joanna and Jack

Will you be our prayer team!?! We need you to pray over who comes each day. We will be welcoming kiddos Monday through Friday from 9 until 11 (during the twins morning naps). Will you pray they sleep well!? Will you pray Jesus brings the ones ready to here of Him? (we know of 3 Muslims and 1 Hindu who have promised to come) Will you pray the ones who think they know all about Him will be teachable to meet Him afresh?! (lots of little missionary kids are coming) Will you pray for logistics like, picking up kids, keeping kids safe in our yard/house? Pray about the weather. It is rainy season and we are so thankful, but it'd be a blessing to get to host this crew in the yard and not in the living room! :) Pray as He leads you!!! Thanks for being a part of the team!
