We’ve a lot to be thankful for –
· The boy at Morris Grade School, who last Thursday accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior – his sister received Jesus last school year and has been attending church with her mom
· The kids at Liberty – had a great time with them over the last few weeks
· The JeNeir School in Momence – a team is ready to go in and do a Good News Club® — pray we have an open door there
· A local youth group who will be stuffing our Easter eggs with candy – a big job and a great help for us
Pray with us for –
· Our chapter’s Good News Clubs meeting this week at Morris Grade, Chaney-Monge, and Zoom club; also keep these soon-starting schools in prayer: Aux Sable, Saratoga, Elwood, and Momence
· Russell as he works to prepare for his TCE 2 Bible lesson practicum
· A new Good News Club volunteer who was suddenly taken ill and is in ICU – a very serious physical situation
· The needed prep and promotion of our March 30 Easter Egg Hunt – ask the Lord for dry and sunny weather; needed supplies; several more volunteers; and above all, the truth of His resurrection will be proclaimed effectively
· Summer ministry – thankfully we already have several invitations for locations; we desire a couple of summer missionaries (have one possible lead – a 17-year-old guy) – ask our Lord to provide us with teens of His choosing
· CEF workers and volunteers in war-torn areas of our world – their safety, effectiveness, and protection
· His continued supply for our financial needs – if you would wish to partner with us in this way, go to our chapter website (www.cef3rivers.com) and click on the word “Donate” along the top of every page. Thanks for your consideration.
· The local churches in our chapter area and their leadership – may they each see the value and importance of ministry to kids
· We, His Body, might have an ever-growing sense of our Lord’s sovereignty and peace – let’s never forget, God is in control
· Steve and Mike, who have been asked to do some training of a summer camp staff on May 29
Prayer is the key – and we are depending on dear folks like you who will lift us and the children in prayer. Thank you! Blessings – Mike, Hebrews 12:1 – 3
