Did you know we have a team of 13 people planning to go to Harrow, England to work with South Asians?
They are going for about 9 days to run a kids club, do sports outreach, and do street evangelism with the Hindu population in London.
Check here for updates and prayer requests from the team!
Thursday update:
It did rain today, but it worked out fine. We reworked our schedule and had our games inside. I think it went really well.
Our youth are really bonding with the South Asian youth here that are helpers with the club. They are getting together this evening to play cricket. Our kids are super excited to learn.
We have some more home visits tonight. The families are so hospitable.
Tomorrow is the last day of club and parent’s night it will be a super full day.
Tuesday and Wednesday updates:
These first two days of kids club have been exciting and hectic. We have close to 90 kids involved and they are having fun learning about Jonah.
We have had a heat wave this week and it has been in the 80’s which is very unusual. No air conditioning here so it has been warm. Tomorrow it may rain we would appreciate prayers for good weather during club Thursday and Friday. It will be very difficult if we cannot be outside for our game time.
We have been visiting families in the evenings which has been a real treat. We will do that Thursday too then Friday night we will conclude the club with a parents night.
We are going with a packed schedule each day. Not much down time, but it is worth it. Thanks for your prayers over the next few days. Can’t wait to see what God is going to do.
Sunday and Monday updates:
We had a great day on Sunday. Matt spoke to us about the Hindu world view so we could better understand how to relate and speak with the people here.We heard the testimony of an awesome woman in the church who came to Christ while a devout Hindu and how her whole family has come to Christ.
In our worship service we sang songs of praise to Jesus in the language of the Gujarati’s and also in English. We heard the testimony of another man who went to India seeking spiritual truth and had an encounter with Jesus, and we had an Indian dinner with the congregation. A lady who has been coming to the fellowship invited us to her house this week so we could tell her our Jesus stories.
Monday was packed with preparation for the kids club.We met all the local youth helpers and had a great time with them. We also set up tables on the street to tell about the church and hand out literature about Jesus, then last night we went door to door in the neighborhoods doing a survey about the spiritual needs of the community. Everything has been great. Please pray as kids club starts today and we are getting more tired each day. Pray for strength and energy as we work with the kids and meet their parents.
