This little church has worked so hard to reach out to the community.  There has been a little growth but primarily middle aged and older adults, meaning NO children.<br \/>\nThis past week about 30 people went through the neighborhoods placing a little hand-bill on doors advertising the VBS.  Everything was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. and at quarter til we had 3 kids.  We were praying and children began showing up.  We actually were delayed in beginning, wanting each child to get the full measure of the opening with me and my friends.  By 6:15 we had 42 and finished with 44 for the night. The workers of the church were so excited and blessed.<br \/>\nThe kids really seemed to have a good time and we look forward to what lies ahead.  Keep praying.  You know, in kids work, if they don&#8217;t show up it&#8217;s generally not their fault so pray for the parents and for their heart&#8217;s desire to get these kids in church&#8230;.even if it&#8217;s just to have a night out with their spouse.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings,<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a great night.
