PRAISE REPORTS
PRAISE the Lord for the opportunity to present the Gospel to neighborhood kids at the "Festival of Light" at Carlsbad Community Church on Oct 31 (photo above). We helped the kids make Wordless Book bracelets and explained the message of salvation using the colors of the beads. The boys and girls also got a tract to take with them, and were able to sign up for the free Mailbox Club lessons.Twelve children made professions of faith in Jesus!
PRAISE God for the increase in attendance we've seen at many Good News Clubs this season, including North Broadway School in Escondido (photo above).
PRAISE the Lord for the growth at our Farr Ave School club in Escondido. Team leaders Holly and Carol Williams email: "We praise God for the 29 children (almost double from the week before!) we had Tuesday 10/28/08. We had 5 team workers and a visiting missionary family of 6 (on their way to England) who gave a presentation of the Gospel. The missionary couple helped to counsel children at salvation invitation time and 6 were reported saved!"
PRAISE God for a report from the leader of our Good News Club at McAuliffe School in Oceanside, Allie Scofield: "October 30 was our first GNC for the school year. We were all so happy to see 45 kids come (in the past 3 years the max was 25). We were not prepared for so many, but things were great. What a wonderful blessing! Every kid took the CEF tract "God's Good News" home at the end of club. The 50 tracts had just arrived and I tucked them with my stuff going along, not even thinking that I would use them right away. I'm sending a card to each kid who came encouraging them to come next week and bring a friend!"
PRAISE the Lord for answered prayer for more helpers at our big Felicita School GNC in Escondido. Three new volunteers have joined the team!
PRAYER NEEDS
PRAY that kids who received CEF Tel-A-Story cards on Halloween will continue to call the number (760-722-4091) and listen to the stories. Pray that the Lord would use this means to help them understand their need for Jesus and to believe in Him for salvation!
PRAY for our long-running Good News Club at Oak Hill School in Escondido which hasn't yet started this season. A team is coming together, with plans to start in February. Please pray for enough committed volunteers and for the Lord's guidance as they meet to pray and organize.
PRAY for full volunteer teams to be able to start Good News Clubs at Richland and Discovery Schools in San Marcos, and Orange Glen, Reidy Creek, and L.R. Green Schools in Escondido. Each is in various stages of development.
PRAY for a big response to an Escondido church's bulletin announcement about the urgent need for Good News Club volunteers.
In the
fellowship of our Lord,
Robert Burkley

..."Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them. --Mark 10:14-16
