There is now a discipleship program at Emmanuel. The teenagers and young adults that are seen to be mature and wanting to grow in the Lord are involved in this program. There is a drama group that work on dramas to present during church. There is an evangelism group that goes out into town giving out clothes and feed and sharing the gospel. There is also a worship group, this is a group that I have been working with recently. While this group has the right spirit, they have trouble with rhythm, staying on key and a few other small things. We were recently able to go to a youth night at a church in town with the discipleship group. The drama group did two dramas and the praise group sang. It was a fun night and good for the youth to see other groups.
New Kids
Well we have received over 91 new kids in the past two weeks. The majority of these kids are special needs. In the first large group there were 53. There was on girl who was 2 and 1/2 and weighed 16 lbs. Leigh and I decided to take her to our house and give a little extra attention to her for a few days. After the first few days in became clear that she was becoming very attached and so for her sake she started staying at the toddler house. She is doing very well now.
In the second large group we received 28 kids. Of this kids there was a boy who has paralysis. We are not really sure what his exact diagnosis is or his background. We are looking for different options for him but he is currently staying in clinic. Please be in prayer for him.
Thank You
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped with the presents that were sent to the girls. I know that they will enjoy them very much. Please know how much I appreciate everyone's help in everything that you have done.
John and Yenny
John and Yenny had a healthy baby boy. I want to say thanks to the women of the church for raising money to help this young family. Also I would like to say thanks for the blanket that was made for them. I know they will be very happy to receive it. John and Yenny had a baby dedication this past Sunday and those are a few of the pictures I have posted.
