We recently had a joint gathering with the adolescent group that we started and the youth group which Dan Giles Jr. is leading. We had a great time together as the youth group kids led small group discussions for the younger ones.
Dan's wife, Marcela, has been able to make some good connections with two moms of kids from the youth group and is going to be getting together with them soon. Please pray for her as she visits with them. Also continue to pray for her and Dan as they minister to the youth group kids.
We're used to having kids drop out of the clubs around the time they start confirmation in the Catholic church but we were very sad recently to lose a boy named, Omar. He had such a love for the stories and an open heart to God's love. He came faithfully from further away than any of the other kids. Please pray that God would guard his heart and keep him faithful to Jesus and His Word and that he would be blind and deaf to anything that would seek to pull him off of that path. We'd sure like to see him come back. He's old enough to be in the adolescent group, too.
Thanks so much for your prayers,
Todd and Barb Schierkolk
