This week the Rosamond Bible Club Site was run by Street Reach Staffers. A group of staff members united as a team in order to minister to the children at Rosamond. This week cast a variety of weather challenges. On Monday and Tuesday bad storms covered the Memphis area. God blessed us with the perfect amount of sunshine to run club on Monday. On Tuesday the club took place in the gym of Brinkley Heights. It was a neat week because we were in the midst of storms. After the storms passed the weather was miserably hot. The staff fought through extremely hot heat indexes to minister to the children. Even with all of the weather challenges it was a great week at Rosamond. -Jessica B.
Whittier:
This week Whittier was ran by a group from Alabama. New Hope Baptist Church came to minister to the children. This group ministered to the children through Bible story, crafts, games and songs. The children at Whittier participated in the telling of the Bible stories! The New Hope team involved the children to act out the story. The children really enjoyed being involved. New Hope was a dominantly male group. This team introduces the children to a variety of unique games. The children participated in potato sack relays, water relays, and a cottonball relay! The children at Whittier really enjoyed the relays! Relays introduced the children to some healthy competition. New Hope also played music through a sound system the music was upbeat and the children really enjoyed it! -Katie
Guernsey:
It was a great week at good ol' Guernsey. In spite of the insane heat, the Lord still brought out the kids our highest this week was 60, and it was one of the hottest days! Club was not able to run on Monday due to the rain. But, our kids were there waiting for us on Tuesday! The Lord is still opening up the doors and bringing new kids to site. We had FBC Collierville chilling with us this week. Having a local team was a cool and different feel. They loved being on site. I think one of our highlights was that we had a 6"9 13 year-old at site this week! If we have an NBA star from Bible Club, that will be legit! Satan tried to shut so many doors with horrible thunderstorms, but the Lord had other plans. It was Miss Mary's last week with us, and I know our kids will miss her a lot. I can't believe we only have 2 more weeks! I just hope the Lord busts the seams out of Guernsey those last 2 weeks! Until then, we will be keeping it real on G-street! -Emily
National:
This week National was run by a team of eight from New Hope Baptist Chuch in Alabama. The weather was crazy! It rained on Monday all day and we went to Gaisman in the morning and had club in the afternoon. It rained all Monday and Tuesday morning right before club started huge black clouds filled the sky. God is so good. After the rain left we were hit with a horrible heat wave for the rest of the week. Despite the heat, this team fully allowed for God to use them and God brought out the kids! The high point of the week was Thursday when 72 children were ministered to at National! A total of 24 different children from the Leawood site were brought over with Matt. One cool story from this week was that CJ had his birthday on Thursday and he turned four. On Friday we told him he was a big boy and he didn't run at all. He even helped with some of the younger kids! Another situation occurred with Jaheim. He wanted to help so he did water all week long. Please pray that God will bring more kids out next week. It was an awesome week and it was so cool to see God work in amazing ways! Great job New Hope! -Erica
Leahy's:
This was an awesome week with a team from Lakewood Baptist Church in Titusville, Alabama. A few team members had been to Leahy's while working with World Changers in a previous year. At the beginning of the week, Memphis was hit with multiple thunderstorms that left Leahy's half underwater. The kids lost power and water in their trailers for two days but we were able to start off the week with 22 kids! By the end of the week we had 40! Wednesday the Lord blessed us with a dry spot for the kids to have a nice area to play. The team did an awesome job this week being flexible with the schedule and rain mess. Also, they brought a new idea of club music, which the kids loved. There were multiple instances of kids discussing their futures this week. Including Gloria, who said she wants to be a photographer when she grows up. Also, at soccer club at Leahy's in the afternoon Antonio told me he would like to go to college. Please keep these kids in your prayers so God can bless their lives, not only now but in their futures. -Jessica
