Senior Bible Study is such a blessing.  It’s each Tuesday at a senior retirement low-income housing, with 180 units and a clubhouse.  It started with a handful of people and is growing.  There are some who have never heard the gospel and others that have served the Lord for years. At first we had an hour, and then they wanted to add a prayer time before the study, so we now have a 1½-hour program.  I brought the hymnbooks from the church one week and we sang for the first time; we’re now going to sing each week!  This is the only church for many of the residents; if I had more time, this could be another whole missionary field!  What a privilege to be able to share the gospel and the love of our Lord each week.  Tim & Bonnie Goold

We are thankful for the progress we see in the Awana Club.  Out of 12 kids, 10 are unchurched children.  They’re having fun and learning truths about God and the Gospel; we pray for their salvation. We are excited about the attendance because it’s beginning to build, one or two at a time.  Little by little, God increases as He sees fit.   Bill & Karla Allen

Our Awana program is doing well. It seems to build momentum each week. It’s a great outreach. I visited a friend last week and one of our Cubbies was there. He came out to the kitchen, saw me, and exclaimed, “You’re the Awana guy!” His aunt told him I was the pastor; he got a funny look on his face and asked if I owned a farm. I told him no I didn’t, to which the little guy replied, “Then where do you keep you pasture?”  We all had a good chuckle over that.  Howard & Nancy Carr

Our prayer meetings remain the sweetest time of the week. These two prayer meetings, each with its own dynamics, make for a very uplifting day. These people are serious about praying and it is evident in the many answers to prayer. The best, of course, are the answers to salvation prayers! David & Caroline Street
