We recently had the wonderful opportunity of spending 2 whole weeks with our newest missionaries! Their schedule was packed with potlucks, games, family visits, meals and more. But along the way, we learned so much about their hearts for the Lord’s work and why they are giving themselves to His service. We praise Him for bringing us all together!

This has been a busy week at Elim! In addition to all the normal activities, the non-functioning side signs were removed, work was begun on the new Christmas banners, and repairs to the men’s room were underway. All done in a spirit of love for the work of the Lord!

One of our moms recently sent some pictures of her daughter acting out what she’s been learning in Sunday school and Children’s Church. We’ve been teaching our 2-3 year olds about God’s Creation, and from Genesis 1:24, we learned that God made “creeping things.”
You KNOW a child has heard and understood the Word when she is pretending to be a “creeping thing” all on her own! 
Then, God’s Word gets reinforced in Children’s Church with hands-on crafts. What a great way for kids to learn the very truths of God!
