Dayton Update, July 8th

Hi prayer partners,

Thank you for your continued prayers.  We moved equipment into the mission Sunday afternoon and began with a short family program that consisted of some of the kids quoting their favorite verse they had learned thus far in the previous week then a 20 minute gospel presentation by me and my “friends”.  Following the service, we had home made ice cream (these folks had never had home made ice cream) that was a huge success.

On Monday we used the day to prepare for the opening day, today.  We made some sample crafts for the kids to see before they made theirs as well as any last minute things that needed to be done.  Just to see that all the bases were covered.

So, today was the day and the kids were fired up when they came in and saw “the puppet man” standing in the auditorium.  It was awesome.  I had the opening and the kids were very responsive and it was wild.

Now to prepare for day 2.  Things are going along well and we appreciate your prayers.  We’ll keep in touch!

Blessings,

John
