Rosamond
The Fourth of July week at Rosamond was popping with love and fun thanks to Union Grove Baptist Church! The team came in prepared to minister to every child the Lord placed in front of them this week. A family of girls came to know Jesus as their Savior on Monday, which gave us more cause to celebrate than even July 4th! On Wednesday, Union Grove provided sack lunches for all of the Bible Clubs. We were so thankful for that! Songs station was a blast every single day! The kids really loved playing musical hula-hoops and going on bear hunts. Game's station was always full of surprises, from teaching the kids how to play soccer to the kids teaching the team how to play Mr. Bear! Bible Story was always animated, and the kids enjoyed eating snacks while they learned about Jesus performing miracles. Last but definitely not least, the kids loved making little lunchboxes and coloring over in crafts station. All around, the team and the kids had lots of fun and made many sweet memories. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for Union Grove's relationship with the kids at Rosamond. Thank you, Union Grove, for giving your all this week!

National
FUMC Marble Falls came to love on the kids at National this week. The kids had a blast at songs having dance battles, playing freeze dance, and singing Bible Club songs at the top of their lungs. Crafts was a hit as well; the kids loved making candy boxes and pop up coloring sheets. The team was determined to go out and find as many kids as possible to get loved on and hear the Gospel. God is SO faithful and sent us 62 kids on Monday! I watched as 62 kids were loved on, fed, and got to hear the greatest news of Jesus. We were reminded of how much God loves this city and his children and how special it is that He chooses us to share in his work. On Friday, the team provided each kid with a bag of snacks. The kids were so excited! Week after week, we are seeing these kids’ hearts transform. God is alive and doing big things in the hearts of kids at National Bible club. Continue to pray for the next few weeks. I know God will do many more great things!

Guernsey
G-Street did it up big for the Fourth of July! A huge thank you to FBC Liberty for coming into town. This team has been coming for many years, so it was very sweet to watch them reconnect and love on kids they remembered from previous trips. This team’s passion kept the stations fun and interactive. They even brought 74 kids out to Bible Club on Thursday! It was awesome to see new faces out at club, and I am excited to see what God has planned next for Guernsey. Every day FBC Liberty had new games prepared for the kids including relay races, kickball, and a target game out of a tarp that the kids could throw balls through. Songs station created posters every day with lyrics to fun songs. The kids sang along, danced with the props, and even got to take home the colorful posters. It was so sweet to watch how excited the kids were to take the posters home, and to watch the kids walk home with posters that were bigger than them! Cortavious told me that he was going to hang the poster in his kitchen so everyone could know about Jesus. The Lord is doing great things at G-Street! A big thank you to FBC Liberty and we are excited to see you next year!

What an awesome 4th of July we had this week with Arcadia First Baptist Church from Santa Fe! Johnson got the ability to minister to kids for this entire week thanks to Arcadia FBC! We had a patriotic week filled with some of the most American things you can think of, from football and relay races to playdough. Most importantly, this week was filled with lots of love and lessons about Jesus! Thanks to the contagious love poured out by Arcadia this week, kids came out to enjoy Bible Club – and even celebrate the 4th of July! The kids were shown so much love this week, and we were blessed to we have some salvations occur throughout the week. Amazing! We can’t wait to continue this work at Johnson next week! Thank you, Arcadia FBC!

Whittier
This week at Whittier was like no other! We are so thankful to Ridgedale Baptist for coming this 4th of July week so we could have Bible club and show the love of Christ to the Whittier kids for another week. Games station was one of the highlights this week where the kids playing lots of cornhole and sharks and minnows. Crafts also consisted of fun activities throughout the week, including making puppets of Joseph with his coat of many colors, salvation bracelets, Styrofoam crosses, and even bird feeders! Songs station had plenty of new songs and Bible Club songs! One of the songs the kids learned and loved last week, so it was awesome to see that connection transfer. Last but not least, each day the Bible story explained a different aspect of how God relates to us. We are so thankful to Ridgedale for sacrificing their time and efforts to come to Memphis so we could have Bible club and love on our precious kids. Also, a special thank you to a few extra helpers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - y’all are so appreciated! Please continue to pray for safety and TONS of kids to come to Bible club. Ultimately, please pray for understanding and acceptance of the gospel in the hearts of this community. God is working big time over at Whitvegas!

Que Que
This 4th of July week was filled with 4 things: red, white, blue, and Jesus.
People say that leadership is reflective and the best way to lead is by example. This week, that was evident in the most wonderful way. The leadership from Valley View UMC created a beautiful chain, from the youth pastor to the students, from the students to the kids at Bible Club. Valley View UMC showed our Bible Club kiddos so much love. For the first time ever at bible club Que Que, our team brought out puppets to tell the Bible story, and the kids responded so well. That wasn’t the only experiment done though. Did I mention we had a science station? So cool, right? The kids were super engaged with hands-on science experiments that tied back to the Bible story. It was an incredible week at Que Que, with a high of 60 kids on Friday. Kaden, Ashley, and I are extremely grateful for the willing hearts and hands of Valley View UMC. We look forward to seeing them again soon!
