Favor in the eyes of children

Our community continues to grow with new residents which means it continues to increase in the amount of children we see playing & running outside. My kind hearted husband began to notice how much the children around us had little to do or even play with after school. Though play grounds and a computer center on on there way, there is little to do in the mean time. Our church put on a simple Christmas play early in December. Jack thought it might be fun to try and gather the children around us to see if they would want to participate in a Christmas play as well. Little did we know that this endeavor would lead to such sweet relationships between us and the children. The gospel was shared in our community through these children as they participated in a play that shared about the birth of Christ from the gospel of Luke.

It is clear to us now, that God is giving us much favor in the eyes of the youth. We hope that as God continues to give us opportunites to know and love these Children that He would bridge the gaps we continue to face in connecting with the parents around us. My heart melts everytime I see one of the kids run up and give Jack a big hug! Please pray with us that we would be able to put together some sort of after school program here at White Rock Hills.
