Day 7 - 3rd Day of HBC


2 Corinthians 4:5-7
5 - For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 - For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 - But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21
20 - Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 - For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.


Day 7 - 3rd Day of Holiday Bible Club
After completing 3 days of HBC it has been really neat to see the connections we've personally been able to make with many of the kids. We haven't had any kids specificly come to Christ for salvation, but we have continued to have the priviledge to keep plowing as the words of God continue to soften the dry stony earth of their hearts. Many of the children are continuing to share with each of us that they have learned more this week from the bible than they do anywhere else. Let's pray that the Spirit of God would keep stirring in their hearts long after we depart. His words shall never return void (Is 55:11).

Today was by far the most smooth day we have had administratively, and we were even able to pull off an entire group picture with all the kids, and there were approximately 95 today! The team God has put together is the perfect group for the work at hand... all of the kids have been very attentive to everything we have taught and exemplified. I cannot thank the Lord enough for each and every team member! Three days down, one to go!

How you can be praying for us over the next couple days...
  • HBC would finish well and that the eyes of each child would be opened to see the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ (2Cor 4:4; 11:3)
  • We would have the opportunity to be a bright light as we sing with other members of Mallow Bible Fellowship in Market Square
  • Many children and their parents would come Sunday morning for a special HBC finale service, and that the parents would be soft towards the gospel
