Crazy, Fighting Kids

So Christian Wee Learn was getting better. And if I look at it from the perspective of what the kids have learned this summer, it far exceeds what I could have ever imagined. But the problem is that they are now getting wilder. The past two days (including today) have been horrible!! We have had more fighting and lying than we have had all summer. They will not listen, and it is stressing me out a little. But I know that things will get better. They do know how to listen, and have proven that to us before. So I am ask for prayer, not for me, but for the kids. I pray that something they have learned this summer will make an impact on their life. Maybe it will help them learn to listen and know why it is important to listen and respect authority. I pray that something will change that will help them in the long run, not just to help my summer be easier. I am praying for a life change in these kids.

Secondly, continue to pray for Phillip. He finally sat down and talked to me yesterday. He said that he did accept Christ into his heart that Monday night at Kids Kamp. I knew he was struggling, but he would not open up that night. I questioned what he did that night, and he knew what he was talking about. I think he does understand the Gospel. But remember, his mom is Catholic, and his dad is Baptist. So he is really struggling with what the differences are between the two. I told him that he needed to let his parents know the decision that he made at Kids Kamp. He said he was going to, but through the chaos of today, I never had a moment to talk to him alone. So I am shooting to do that tomorrow. Pray that he will have the courage to make known his decision, and pray for his growth in Christ in the days to come.

Finally, my brother will be involved in the Senior High Mission Trip to Toledo, Ohio next week. They leave on Saturday. Pray that God will do amazing things in Toledo. Seeds will be planted, and there could be harvest while they are there. I am praying that God will show up and work through the lives of these willing students.
