Have You Told Jesus?

‘Bright and Morning Star’ Camp was held last week. On Friday morning, one of the teachers was not feeling well. A fourth grader asked one of the other teachers why the teacher was not in the class. When she explained to him that he was recovering from not feeling well, he asked: “Have you told Jesus?”

She assured him that she had prayed to Jesus, and encouraged him to pray as well. After sitting quietly for a few moments, he continued to participate in the camp activities.

That student came to Sunday School yesterday (the first weekend after the camp). He previously attended Sunday School one time when he was a first grader. Three years later he has returned. We don’t know if he will become a regular attendee or if he came to be able to see a couple of his camp leaders one more time. We are hoping for the former.

  • Please pray for his faith in Christ to grow.
  • Please pray for God to supply workers so that another camp can be held July 1-5. Are you available? See the video request

Praise and Prayer

  • ‘Bright and Morning Star’ Camp successfully concluded last Friday. More than 30 students attended. Camp included singing English songs, flying pop bottle rockets, games, English learning, and much more. Check out some of the photos and videos on our church Facebook page.
  • Some high school students will attend a Christian camp Tuesday through Thursday this week. Please pray that this will be a meaningful time, helping them to deepen their relationship with God.
  • The weather turned cold during the camp and a number of the students were unwell with colds. Lorne is the unfortunate recipient of their sharing. We are hoping that this will not prevent us from attending the Chinese New Year Meal and the two-day Alliance Pastors’ Family Camp Monday to Wednesday this week. Most important is to pray that these Christian workers and their families will have good fellowship and will be encouraged by these events.
