Prayers and Praise
Thank God for the Children's CHE trainings in Uganda this week. Simon and his team are working with children's teachers in their churches. "They have said that, they have never had any training before about equipping children." They are meeting under a mango tree (above) so they can sit in a circle, CHE-style. Meanwhile, Sammy and his team are back at the Bidi Bidi refugee camp giving more CHE and Children's CHE training. Pray for fruitful trainings.
Meanwhile, back in Zihuatanejo, we will have a children's ministry at the basketball court this afternoon. I am often teaching some English to the kids and grandparents.
I have also enjoyed teaching online inductive or discover-it-yourself Bible studies with kids. We have just finished Daniel and will begin Elijah in September. Praise God that the girls are inviting their sisters and their friends to join our studies!
We also want to make these inductive Bible studies available to others in other areas and other countries, without cost. So I have been writing new studies that are available as a PDF. I have been working on Women of the New Testament. Let me know if you would like a copy.
Please keep on praying for wisdom about building a cabin in Texas.
September begins a long series of travels--first to Texas for a fund raising event and board meeting with the Christian Health Service Corps; then on to Arizona, where our service team will join in on a Representative Council meeting of the Global CHE Network; and then on to New York to visit family, friends and churches in Rochester, Schenectady, and Ballston Spa; and finally on to Israel (I hope!) with a Bible study tour. Here is a link to a brochure: https://belovedtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Israel-2022Brochure-1.pdf
Please pray that all the pieces for these travels will come together. And pray for fruitful meetings and time to relax with friends and family. I am also looking forward to the long-awaited Bible study tour in Israel. Pray that we can go this time.
Whew! Many thanks for praying me through all this. The travels seem a bit overwhelming, but God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. And thanks for your faithfulness as well.
Much love to you
Jody
