This summer for the month of July our church~ GracePointe and GracePointe students started a Backyard Bible Club. It has been amazing. At first the children were shy and not many came.....
Most of these are youth from our church...... but then they started coming......
As the weeks past.... they would ask.... "are you coming next week?" We would say "yes!" The last two weeks a few of their parents came to watch too. Our youth pastor Gus always shared how Jesus loved them... for them to always remember how much He loved them. He would read from the Jesus Storybook Bible, talk with them and pray.
I loved seeing the relationships grow and even how my youngest boys~ Wyatt & Wesley would talk about their new friends!
On our last Saturday~ our church rented a water slide!
The children asked us when we would come back. A couple of the girls said they may be moving. My girl... Lysa said she wanted to keep in touch so she gave them her cell number. She loved the girls so much....
The great news....... our church decided to continue our Backyard Bible Club ONCE a month! The kids were so excited!
God is faithful. We were so very blessed by these children. They were happy and soaked up the love. So often we think we need to take Jesus to the less fortunate .... but sometimes I often wonder if it is the less fortunate that bring Jesus to us! Isn't that just like God.
Change a life... sponsor a child today!
