Lions and Whales and Giants... oh my!

29 August 2009

“Yours O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom, you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.” - I Chronicles 29:11-12

These are the words that we (Mike and Kira) kept in mind as we prepared the curriculum to bring to the kids in Battambang, Cambodia, in December. Our goal in the words and scripture that we share with these children is to glorify God. If you don’t know, our REALLY AWESOME theme is GOD’S TEAM! The stories that we intend on teaching and sharing with the kids are Daniel and the Lion’s Den, David and Goliath, Noah’s Ark, and Jonah and the Big Fish. Some of the Christ-like qualities that we are hoping to instill in these kids are faithfulness, obedience, mercy, love, and so many more.

At our last team meeting, we (Mike and Kira) volunteered to prepare the entire curriculum. This preparation involves drawing up the narration and skit dialogue and the layout of the skits. So on Saturday (8/29/09), we got together and man was God with us! We made a huge dent in the prep work. We completed 2 of the 5 skits completely and already scheduled our next meeting to finish up! This is SO exciting!:)

Until our next update, please pray for our team, that we continue to remain unified and glorify God through everything that we do. Pray for the children of Cambodia, that they keep their eyes on the Lord and that He protect them from whatever struggles that may be facing right now. Pray for the leaders of New Life that they too keep their eyes fixed on God and are glorifying him too. Please pray that at our next meeting (Mike and Kira) is as productive as we were this meeting.

Thank you so much! Until next time…

Joyfully His,
Mike and Kira
