Here's our new "temporary home" in Warsaw, Indiana where we'll be through May of 2011 for our home assignment. Kaylyn, Kathryn and Brent are starting school and getting adjusted to life here. Lots of changes! Thanks for your prayers as we adjust to "gringo" life. We look forward to seeing many of you while we're here!!

Summer Missionary Program 2010

We are grateful for the opportunity to train over 20 youth in how to teach kids' club. As a family we went to Mexico City for the training week from July 9-15. What a GREAT time we had with the quality youth that God sent us this year.

The training involved various facets of teaching an evangelistic kids' club: teaching songs, bible verses, a Bible lesson, a missionary story.....all designed to help children learn more about what God has done for them AND helping them understand that they too can trust in Christ for salvation. Every summer several thousand children attend the 20-30 clubs taught by these youth and 100's profess faith in Christ.

This summer Sharla and I helped train the youth in the songs they would use in the clubs. Sharla came up with the motions for the songs which you can see in one of the pictures above. I was able to help in the training of the teaching of the evangelistic Bible lesson. All the youth met in small groups throughout the week to prepare their Bible lessons and then practice together before they are sent out. It's GREAT practice for them since they all learn together with us "coaching" them.

We thank God for the awesome group of youth God sent us this year. Sharla and I are grateful for the privilege to work alongside a team of both CAM missionaries and Mexican youth to organize this summer ministry! Pray that there will be long-lasting fruit from the clubs which the youth taught this summer!!
