NATIONAL
For some
reason, God never ceases to send more kids our way to be taught, to listen, and
to receive the Word. This week proved that with 103 kids. First Baptist Gleason
had such passion for these children that was evident in how they loved as Christ
did through their very own actions. In the Word, it says "we love because
Christ first loved us" (1 John 4:19). Such a fundamental truth but
stretched to new boundaries with Gleason here to serve alongside of. They truly
loved those kids through constant piggy back rides, a hug, or a smile.
Finishing the week with many “I love you's” and “Jesus loves you’s” to the kids
from Gleason showed that the purpose of being here was to love like Christ
does. It was a wonderful week being Jesus' very own hands and feet with you
Gleason. -Gaby
LEAHY'S
This
week may have been the hottest one we've had so far this summer, but at Leahy's
I think it was also one of the best. Calvary brought in an awesome team, and
Miss Aimee also joined us since her site, Pope, was not running this week. On
Thursday, we had a total of 65 kids come to Bible club--a new record for
Leahy's this year! But the high point of the week was most definitely that one
of the boys started asking a lot of questions about Jesus. Miss Aimee and one
of the team members got the chance to pull him aside and talk with him, laying
out the Gospel for him. The eight-year-old was very engaged in the
conversation, and we think it likely that he got saved on Thursday! -Kala
WHITTIER
This week
at Whittier proved to be an extreme success. With members from Calvary Church
in St. Louis providing a fun, exciting, and energy filled environment, the team
members and the kids had an amazing time. Starting off the week with 49 kids in
attendance, there were always over 40 kids that could be seen at Bible Club at
Whit-Vegas. The kids were able to have an autograph book for everyone to sign
during craft station. Kickball games, songs about burritos, and Bible stories
that had each kid getting involved were just some of the things that made
Whit-Vegas THE site to be at. Thank you members of Calvary Church for giving
your all and sharing your craziness, energy, and ministry with the kids and
with Street Reach. The Whit-Vegas songs and chants have been the loudest and
craziest yet. -Josh
JOHNSON
We had a great week with Calvary at Johnson! The weather was
beautiful this week, and the kids were very excited about coming out to club.
The kids learned a lot this week as they heard about King David in the Bible
story. They were able to see how they can trust God in every circumstance. Many
Street Reach classics were enjoyed by the kids this week in games and songs
such as, “Duck Duck Goose,” “Mr. Bear,”
Little Red Wagon,” and “Bazooka Bubble Gum.” There were many kids that attended
Bible Club this week with the biggest day brining 82 kids! God’s love was
experienced this week by many kids, and the hearts of the Calvary team were
broken over the lives of the children. A big thank you to Calvary for all of
their hard work, and their willingness to be used by God last week! We are
looking forward to them returning next year, Lord willing! -Alice

Third week was awesome at Kendrick! Returning group Yadkin
Baptist Church from Patterson, North Carolina rolled into town and had an great
time at bible club. They were filled with lots of excitement and rounded up a
high for the week of 51 kids on Monday! The kids had lots of fun from games and
songs, to making crafts and memorizing the daily verses from bible story. Also,
I think the team equally blessed by getting the chance to show love to the kids
as the kids did receiving it. Friday was hard saying goodbye but, the Yadkin
team left a lasting impression at Kendrick through their service. Thank you
guys so much for such a great week and im excited to see what is coming up in
the weeks to come! -LoganGUERNSEY

The
Calvary Senior High Students from St. Louis, Missouri returned to Guernsey this
week and did a great job! The Pope site
was closed, but the Pope kids still got Bible Club by combining with us over at
the Guernsey site! We started the week off with 74 kids and the team had a
blast getting to know them. Throughout the week we
had drum battles in songs and intense games of “Mr. Bear” and “Sharks and
Minnows” in the recreation group. I think
the kids’ favorite craft all week was the salvation bracelets that they made on
Friday, and I loved getting to talk to the kids about the different colors
while explaining the gospel. Many of our
kids learned a new Bible verse each day thanks to the enthusiastic Bible story
group and their cool dance moves while teaching the kids scripture. Overall, it was a great week at Guernsey, but
Friday had to be my favorite because of the insane amount of energy everybody
had on club site. While I went back out
to find more kids for club I could hear our kids reciting Bible verses and
singing songs from way down the street… It was AWESOME! Thanks for a great week Calvary-- can’t wait
to see you next year! -Kacie
