Hi all,
What a great day we had today!
We met early to prepare for the Holiday Club and Soccer School. Chris and Sue were great as usual, although the numbers of children attending was pretty low. We split (or is it multiplied?) the group into two and sent about two thirds of the children to Dave Turner's Soccer School.
After preaching and Dramas in the prison, Chris's voice was showing some signs of strain, but lasted long enough for more Dramas tonight.
The theme of the Holiday Club (Kids Club over here) is creation, and after buying supplies from Wall Mart, we supervised the children in craft activities as well as games and teaching. Dave taught all the children in his group to be David Beckhams of the future.
After the Kids Club/Soccer School we had a debrief, and then a devotional time. We then went for half an hour in a local Indian Trading Post (Richardsons) and then headed back for our evening meal, rehearsals of songs and Drama, and then on to a worship time that lasted from 6:30 to 9:30. There were three groups involved, a Spanish Pastor from a local church, the people from Joshua Generation Church and ourselves. We had worship in Spanish, testimonies songs and Dramas from Johnny Blue Eyes (the JGFJ worship leader) and the JGFJ drama group. Dave Turner gave his testimony and then we ministered our dramas, 'Ka ching' (Home produced by Pam)and 'Figaro' The stars were Pam, Beth and Kathryn (brilliant) and then Chris and Kathryn supported by Alice, Colin, Pam, Margaret and Beth.
Sue as been excellent with the technical support throughout.
For many of us, the testimony from the Pastor's daughter Jessica and the following drama that illustrated her story was unforgettable. I think that it was probably the most moving drama I have seen, to see the Pastor take the role of Jesus and his daughter play herself, and her boyfriend play himself in a story of drug addiction, attempted suicide and spiritual rescue. Amazing.
We are unable to upload any photos tonight. It is surprisingly difficult to get the time and a good signal to be able to complete the photo upload, but we promise to make it a priority tomorrow.
God bless,
Dave

Hi guys trusting you had another blessed day. Sounds like things are going amazing-one thing I will say the church is really empty without you guys around-that means peace and quiet richard while the youth office is un-used.
But seriously keep up the good (God) work and keep looking to Jesus for inspirtaion.
