Update / Praise God:

Eric: "So, is Jesus coming back?"
Gina: "Yes." Eric: "YESSS!!!" |
For the last few weeks, Gina and I have been explaining the gospel using Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Gina, who teaches the younger kids, has used some great visual illustrations (drawing pictures on the white board; using a golden string for eternal life and a black string for eternal death; creating a song out of Romans 6:23; using a dartboard analogy to explain sin and substitution). I've been teaching the older kids mainly by using "the Bridge" illustration and breaking down the gospel in a bad news / good news format. Today I had the privilege of explaining the gospel to a couple of teenage girls from the neighborhood who admitted to having almost no understanding of the Bible. And Gina has had numerous talks about the gospel in and out of her class time.

Tonight Aric Diaz from Texas came by to help with the Bible study. He is gifted in graffiti art, and he spent time with the kids afterward, drawing their names and Bible verses on pieces of paper. One boy told Aric, "I want to be just like you." Aric responded, "Noooo! You should want to be like Jesus!" Praise God for the many opportunities we have had to proclaim His gospel to these children on Fridays!
- Please pray that the children will have a clearer understanding of the gospel and that their hearts will cling to the truth of the gospel.
- Please pray for male laborers to come mentor the neighborhood boys.
- Please pray for wisdom, creativity, and diligence as Gina and I consider where to go next with our lessons.
- Please pray for unity between Gina and I as we serve together in the gospel.
