End of Summer

This is the last week of clubs in the Lansing Area. Joanna is teaching two clubs this week.


I won't write alot of details because our newsletter is coming out soon. But one great highlight for us this summer was taking James, Jabez, and Andrew to two weeks of clubs that we taught.

James and Jabez have attended the Good News Club at Sheridan Rd. Elementary school for the past two years. Most of the time, they have been very difficult to handle in GNC. AT the churches were we had the 5-Day Clubs, however, they were very good. On the way home on Wednesday of the second week, Jabez was talking about wanting to be a movie star. He asked if they made lots of money. I said that some do, but some have to get other jobs while waiting to be discovered. He decided he would pray to God to help him be a good movie star. We suggested to him that he should pray to God to be what God wanted Him to be and to do. Without hesitation he said, "Like Hudson Taylor". He had been listening to the story of Hudson who started China Inland Mission. Hudson's life was one of prayer and submitting to God's authority and will for his life. We praised God that Jabez was listening and learning to apply the truths that he has learned.

Much work is being done to get ready for fall GNC's and trainings. In Capital Area we have the weekly Good News Club training class, then Teaching Children Effectively 1 and 2, then a specialized training once a month for the Jr. & Sr. High students at Livingston Christian School.

I will again be busy with HSMA conducting the Cadet Band, teaching 10 or 11 private students, working with Joanna and her schooling, then directing the choir at church.

Your prayers for us are greatly appreciated and needed.

Philip is working now at Attac Race Cars in Charlotte. They design and build parts of drag race cars. Here is a picture of a part that was made from Philip's drawing he did. He is working 8:00 am - 6:00 pm and sometimes later. Thursday, he begins classes at LCC, so he will be very busy.
