- Meeting in our house churches is the highlight of the week for many of our staff members. One Bhutanese and three Latino house churches meet weekly, and we continue to rejoice as we see the Lord awakening more of our immigrant friends to pursue Him. We also rejoice in the believers' maturing in faith.
- We want to express a big "Thank You!" to the thirty middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, and staff from Christ Church Anglican that came up to KCK to lead an outreach Summer Kids' Camp three evenings last week. Record numbers of neighborhood kids turned out for it.
- We're into our second week of Kids' Summer Camp this week, led by a team of about 25 from Shoal Creek Community Church. The kids have really enjoyed their creative presentation of lessons, and crafts that have affirmed the great value that the Lord has for children.
- Thank you, Joy Shiner and Gayla Benson for providing the Action Bibles we needed for our Bhutanese Children's Outreach! These Bibles are particularly engaging for the fourth- to sixth-grade boys with whom we use them.
Prayer needs:
- Please continue to pray for healing Lauren Timberlake as she recovers from eye surgery and a broken foot. Her doctors are pleased with her progress, but the recovery process is long.
- Pray for the evening Kids' Camps going on this week and next week here at Mission Adelante. Pray for the kids to have fun, be safe, and most of all to see the Lord more clearly through the activities.
- Lift the Board of Directors in prayer as they have a meeting this Sunday to continue planning for the future of Mission Adelante. Ask God to grant them wisdom and direction, that their decisions would bring Him greater glory.
