Vbs2019

Almost* all the kids were focused on the lessons last night. They were interested in the Bible time, Crafts, and music (music was a lot of fun, but it is set up like a concert and I can not seem to get good pictures) Rec time they were doing circles around us (where do they get the energy?) These kids are a blessing and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for bringing them to VBS and making our nights filled with laughter and learning.

Tonight’s questions!

THIS IS A TEASER FOR THE MESSAGE TOMORROW. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. "The Ninety and Nine" There are ninety and nine that safely lie In the shelter of the fold: But millions are left outside to die, For the ninety and nine are cold,— Away in sin's delusive snare, Hastening to death and dark despair, Hastening to death, and none to care,— For the ninety and nine are cold. "Lord, Thou hast here Thy well-fed sheep; Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer, "Millions sleep On the brink of eternity,— And these My sheep within the fold Care not for the dying in sin's stronghold, Care not for the dying outside the fold, On the brink of eternity." But none of the ransomed ever knew How the heart of the Shepherd did yearn; Nor the travail of soul that He passed through For His sheep without concern. For no other way had He to reach The millions of earth His way to teach, The millions of earth except through each Of His sheep without concern. "Lord, whence are those marks in hands and side, And whence the scars of Thy feet?" "They were made for those for whom I died, Both saved and wandering sheep." "Lord, when wilt Thou come to claim Thine own?" "Not till the wandering the way are shown, Not till the wandering My Word have known, My wandering, dying sheep." Ah, ninety and nine, dost thou hear His voice? Forth then to the work so great; Beyond life's span there is no choice For those outside the gate. If they're brought at all, it must be now— Then, ninety and nine, don't question how, Oh, sheep of Mine, go quickly thou, Else for them—and you—too late. But all through the churches, apostate-riven, And up from the world's rough steep, There'll arise a glad cry to the gates of heaven, "Rejoice, I am finding My sheep!" And the angels shall echo around the throne, "Rejoice, for the dying the way are shown! Rejoice, for the Shepherd brings back His own, His wandering, perishing sheep!"—Thomas E. Stephens.

Here are the questions for BodyLife discussion groups for this Sunday. Be there and be prepared!

JAM Session lastnight

An explanation of what Jesus did by someone who's getting baptized on Easter Sunday morning!

Born in Puerto Rico, Luis had a love for missions. He moved his family to Utah, where Mormonism touches every part of the culture, including more than 300,000 Hispanic residents. Most Hispanics work two or three jobs in West Valley. When Luis sees hardworking men come to a weeknight church event, he knows they are serious about the Lord and hold potential to become new planters. “We need more planters to start more churches that can communicate truth,” says Luis. “In a place where it seems like everyone is Mormon, it’s easy to feel alone. But I know our church, the people we’re sending out and the many who support us through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering are part of something bigger. One day very soon, we’re going to have Hispanic churches sharing the Gospel all over Utah.” Pray for Luis and Beatriz’s daily wisdom to share the Gospel and raise up more leaders. Pray for the residents of Utah’s hearts to be open to discovering Jesus as the only way, the truth and life. Find out more about Luis & Beatriz Soto at AnnieArmstrong.com/Soto.

Muche grew up in the inner city of Houston, where his brother was murdered as a young man. That experience gave Muche a unique perspective when he felt called to plant a church in Miami. “Because of my history, I have more patience as I walk with people,” says Muche. “As Miami became more diverse, most churches left and moved to the suburbs. Nothing was left to take the church’s place – not anything good, at least.” The Ukegbus planted The Brook Church, which now has four city groups and is preparing to launch more. “When Diamone and I moved here, Miami broke our hearts. But we found something beautiful. Many look at this city and want to begin fixing the sin and depravity. But what we see here are people made in God’s image, and we desire to tell them that.” Pray for God to expand the ministry of The Brook to build strong faith communities in Miami and teach people to passionately follow Jesus. Pray for Muche and Diamone to wisely mentor and raise up leaders who have a heart for the city. Find out more about Muche & Diamone Ukegbu at AnnieArmstrong.com/Ukegbu.

John (name changed due to security concerns) came to Christ in China, a communist country known for its atheism. John came to the U.S. for seminary training and planned to return to his home country. But God burdened him for Chinese immigrants chasing the American dream. John knew they needed the Gospel. It was challenging to plant the first Mandarin-speaking, SBC church in a city that was home to thousands of Chinese Americans. John and his wife reached out to their community, and the church slowly grew. “Some of our members left China for better lives. Some were brought by their parents. They all valued accomplishment and believed their worth was earned. Yet they all felt something was missing,” said John. Gospel hope was the missing piece. Pray for the nations God is bringing to North America to gain spiritual understanding of His freely given grace. Pray for Chinese church planters to reach their neighbors with the Gospel and for strength to face cultural challenges. Find out more about Chinese-American Churches at AnnieArmstrong.com/ChineseChurches.

Madison, Wisconsin, is a college town – one of the most liberal in the nation. “there are more than 40,000 college students, and most are unreached by the Gospel,” says Rob. “So many people have tried to start churches here and failed. Maybe we should feel nervous about that, but we’re excited.” Rob and Lisa love college students because they exist in a season of life where they can question everything and often are open to discussing spiritual issues. The family moved from Ames, Iowa, to Madison to plant Doxa Church in the fall of 2018. “The amazing thing about planting in a college community is that we don’t just make converts; we make missionaries. Many accept Jesus and see their lives change in college. Then they graduate and share the good news to others in their workplaces and neighborhoods.” Pray for Rob and Lisa’s boldness to follow the Spirit’s leading in reaching Madison for Jesus. Pray for God to open doors and hearts on campus, creating a receptivity to the Gospel. Find out more about Rob & Lisa Warren at AnnieArmstrong.com/Warren.
