Bible Clubs:
Coastal Bible Clubs: The Bible clubs are growing strong, but we have lost a lot of our older kids that have moved up to high school and are in school while we are doing the Bible clubs. God helped me to see that our program has prepared them for not being in the Bible clubs anymore, knowing that they have great foundations of the Word of God and know how to accept Christ and live for Him, if they never get to come back to a Bible club.
Youth Bible Club: We were not able to have the bonfire for our special Youth Bible club, but they really enjoyed hotdogs. It was a great event for the youth to invite their friends to come and hear the Gospel.
Mountain Bible Clubs: The Bible clubs are growing and the leaders are doing well.
Tuesday Community Evangelistic Outreach: We had a great time showing the Ecuadorian soccer game last night with Ecuador winning. The crowd really enjoyed the evening. The outreach continues to run between 260-310 each week.
Our granddaughter, Abby: We were privileged to have our 3 year old granddaughter, Abby join us for two weeks. She was a huge help. She loved playing with the kids, sweeping up and stacking chairs. She helped out each day.

Big News:
