Clowns, Laughter and Craziness (Update)
I have not been able to write lately as it is our summer team and Kids Club time. On Saturday 22 people from Winnipeg arrived to help with our Kids Club and other great ministries. This years club is a CIRCUS theme so we have plenty of clowns and laughter. Last year we topped the club attendance at 106 kids, so we prepared this year for 120. That was my first error, as the first day we had 127, the second day 136. So we have been scrambling a bit to keep up. The other exciting thing is that most of the kids are new. This year for the first time we added a parents event upstairs where the parents can take a parenting course. It has been well attended. PRAY with us for the kids at the kids club and the parents, that God will change hearts and families.
Blessings, Shelli
UPDATE (Saturday July 11)
Yesterday we wrapped up an awesome week with more than 130 kids and 50 parents attending the final day with a festival for the kids and a parent presentation. God brought many very needy kids (ones we see on the street corners begging for example) to be touched by the love of God through the huge team of Mexicans and Canadians that worked hard serving with a big heart. Shelli will be able to update this later with more news on the many children that responded to the invitation to give their lives to Christ.
You can watch this 6 minute video to see more of the club. Sorry I didn’t get any music recorded with it…Circo Fantastico Arbol de Vida Club de Niños 2009
Thank you for your prayer!!!!
