PRAISE REPORTS
PRAISE God for progress on our Good News Clubs in development. On Thursday Mary McKee, Connie Gordon, and Patti Dowell (above), who are interested in seeing a club started at Bonsall Elementary, came notebooks in hand to observe our club at Rose School in Escondido. The observers the week before from a Vista church report that they are building a volunteer team and proceeding with plans for a new GNC at Bobier School! And there's also been a new volunteer joining the team for L.R. Green School in Escondido.
PRAISE
the Lord for the way He has been at work in the lives of
children at our Good News Club at Los Penasquitos School in RP.
It's our longest-running club -- this is at least its 10th
season! In October there were 56 kids enrolled. Ted and Colleen
Medin have been leading the club for the past several years, and
Colleen (photo above) recently emailed: "One of our helpers
told the class 'I have been part of this GNC for 6 years and you
are the quietest and the largest class we've had.' The children
seem to really want to do their verses and help each other. We
have quite a few brothers & sisters that have brought each
other. We have many children that have been coming for 4 or 5
years. That is so good because we know we are discipling
them."
PRAISE God for a phone call from the children's pastor at an Escondido church who would like to explore sponsoring a GNC in the schools after learning about the ministry from one of our North Broadway School GNC volunteers who goes to the church!
PRAYER NEEDS
PRAY as word goes out about our Mission Estancia GNC scheduled to start Dec 2. Like an increasing number of schools, this one has switched from distribution of paper flyers to email, which is not as effective in reaching parents. But praise the Lord that the school has granted permission for the club to send out paper flyers as well. Please pray that LOTS of parents will receive and read the announcements and respond positively. Pray that many kids who have never come to GNC will be there!
PRAY for volunteers for the GNC-in-progress for Discovery School in San Marcos. Please ask the Lord to help the father who wants to see the club at his kids' school to reach those who would like be part of the team. Pray that the Lord would call other Christian parents, retirees, or young people who are available after school and could serve in this way.
PRAY for the team of two mothers preparing to start up the Solana Highlands School GNC in Solana Beach in January. They definitely need helpers on the team! Please ask the Lord to bring other committed servants alongside them.
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
