Children's Ministry Conference

Today I will be driving from Spokane to Longview to teach several sessions at a Children's Ministry Conference tomorrow. It is put on by CEF of Longview. I am looking forward to the opportunity to teach. During one of the sessions I will be sharing about CEF of Madagascar. Please pray that I will be able to effectively teach and that God will use this conference to challenge those attending to reach children both in Washington and in Madagascar.

Heart for Missions

One of the Good News Club teachers here in Washington shared a precious story with me. The kids at this club have been praying for me and take an offering each week. The teacher said, "At one of our Good News Clubs in December, during our missionary time, it was time to take the offering. A little girl disappeared briefly and came walking back in with a big smile on her face and a piggy bank in her hands. She walked to the front seat and sat down. Some of her friends gathered around her as she proceeded to empty her piggy bank into the offering plate. Here is a picture." As I pray that the last 5% of my support will come in by the end of the month, I am amazed how God even uses children to answer my prayers. I know God has wonderful plans for this little girl's life. Her heart for missions is humbling.
