Price school and GNC update and prayer
requests 2/17/02
Last Thursday was the Valentines party GNC at Price elementary. It went
very well. There were over 50 kids and the Holy Spirit was truly
working because
on the hearts of many of the workers was the importance of spending more
time with ³one on one² with the children. Loretta Johnson did the Valentines
lesson and she taught about Godıs plan for families. The workers brought
family pictures and those were shown too. Jay Johnson gave his testimony.
Then valentines cookies were given out and everyone just walked around
and visited with the kids! Songs were song led by the Bridgmans.
Prayer Requests:

know if you would like specific names to pray for.

church.)

lesson about the famous St. Patrick and how he shared his faith with others
in Ireland. His true story
is a very inspiring one. On March 28th we had a Resurrection Party and
learned about Christ's last days on Earth. The gospel was clearly presented
and several children stayed for counseling. Loretta Johnson shared about
the symbols associated with Easter and their true meaning. We had cookies
and games, as well.

be teaching. Beka Hendrick and the Bridgmans will share songs and the
Zachary family will lead the games. Rachel Holzapful will teach the memory
verse each week.

Thursdayıs GNC went well on and there was an attendance of about 38 children.
They were attentive listening to bible stories about Jesus and His love and the need to pray even when we donıt really feel like it.
Again there was a special time when children separated into groups and talked about personal prayer requests. For many of the children, this means a lot to talk about their needs and/or their family needs and praying for them.
Prayer requests:
1.For the children, that they would continue to be thirsty for the Word even though it is near summer and school will be over.
2.For possibly some of their parents to volunteer to have a five day club in their home.
3.Wisdom for the workers that they would be able to present Godıs Word in such a way as to continue to be used to draw the children to Him.
4. That the workers too, would not grow tired. "Do not grow tired in doing good, for in due season you shall reap, if you faint not." Gal 6:9.
5. For the parents of the children, that she may see "fruit" and be "hungry."
6. For CEF the Dallas office, that the Lord would provide adequate funds.
7. For the GNC at Mrs. Johnsonıs, esp. there would be enough helpers the next two weeks.
8. For those going to CYIA and funds.

On Thursday, the children heard Elizabeth Montgomery
teach on the last lesson on prayer and how the Lord hears us when we
pray for others and also how it can make such a difference to Godıs
people.
Jer 29:12-13 ³Then
you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And
you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.²
Next Thursday will be our last meeting
until the fall at
Price school. The Wordless Book will be taught as well as specific things
with the colors of the wordless book. It will be a bit sad, parting until
fall. It has been a grand time for all! Such a blessing from the Lord.
He heard our prayers and used Household of Faith to do His work!!!!!!!!
Please pray for:
1.The GNC at 3 to 4:15 PM, on Thursday
this coming week, that there would be an atmosphere of hunger for the
message of salvation and that the Lord would be truly drawing all to
Himself.

important part of there lives this summer and the Word heard would not be
forgotten.

them.

5. Ways we can keep in contact with the children during the summer.
The final meeting for the GNC at Price was Thursday May 16. Loretta Johnson told the story of Jesus. The memory verse was John 3:16.
The children received copies of the Wordless book, as well as printed instructions and a tract, also a bracelet with the wordless book colors and jellybeans in the colors of the wordless book. Beka led in the singing. It was sad that this was the last GNC until school starts in August.
The last meeting at Mrs. Johnson's house was on Tuesday May 21. There wasnıt an empty seat in the house!!!!! Beka led in telling about the wordless book. The children received the wordless book, tract, bracelet, jelly beans all in the Gold, black, red, white and green colors as well as balloons. It was a really joyful party and hopefully the children understood the message of salvation and will be able and desirous to relate it to others this summer. They all verbalized how they could hardly wait until August when the GNC starts up again!!
