Asking for Prayer

I know that it has been a while since I last updated but I have been busy doing prep work for Vacation Bible School so my days have been full of cutting, ironing, and pinning hundreds of fabric hearts, writing lessons, and developing games. Vacation Bible School begins Thursday evening with anywhere from 120 to 150 children from all the Methodist Churches in Macedonia converging in the village of Koleshino then moving to the village of Murtino on Friday, moving to Monespitivo on Saturday and then all of the churches will have a combined church service on Sunday morning here in Strumica for the children to present what they have learned. I will also be giving a brief homily at this service focusing on the main theme of the week.

Our theme this year is "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." Be in prayer for this event as it takes place because we are doing some new activities this year that the children have not done before, so we are testing it out to see if this can take place each year. Also be in prayer that the children who come will passionately embrace what their true treasure is and where it should be and be willing to tell others about it.

Another prayer request I have is for the special needs camp that will take place next week, July 14th-22nd in Ohrid. Directly after VBS is over we will be packing and leaving early the next morning to begin working with 90 children with social, developmental, and physical disabilities and leading them in Bible lessons, songs and participating with them in their activities. May we be able to keep our energy alive and going after VBS to give these children the same love, energy, and attention they deserve.

Because of all of these events I may not be able to update for at least two weeks so I hope you will understand. I hope all is going well at home in your ministry endeavours and I look forward to reporting about the joyful outcomes of these events when I return. Many prayers.
