Childrens Program :)

Hello! Hope that everyone's weeks have been blessed and full of encouragement.  I know that I have had a very encouraging week myself and thank everyone for their constant prayer.  I am beginning to understand the benefits of regular and in depth prayer.  Investing in time with God brings more blessings than is even fathomable!!  This week I got launched into doing ministry and I felt satisfied in have my time filled and just spending time in the word.  My ministry schedule is set up but not entirely up and running.  My ministries are working at a disabilities center twice a week Mondays and Tuesdays.  Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I will be running a jewelry program for youth in the community.  Wednesdays I am doing a feeding program in the barrio; I went for the first time this week and had a very enjoyable time with the women who run the program.  They were so loving and patient even when the job I was doing was taking twice as long as it would take them. Then Wednesday afternoons I have a children's program with kids that we met through our trash pick up the last semester.  The jewelry ministry is taking the longest to get started because I am in the process of getting a proposal approved by Opportunity International.  Right now I am planning to have two classes one being jewelry made with recyclable materials and the other would be from natural materials such as seeds.  The youth in the program would be creating jewelry to be sold through Opportunity International to raise money for Young Life.  For each piece of jewelry sold 1/3 of the profit would go to the person who made it and 2/3 to Young Life.  It is an exciting adventure and I am anxious to get it up and running.  Although I may never be able to see the fruits of the program it will be an interesting experience setting it up! I will give more details on these ministries as I begin to spend more time in them! Thank you for always reading my blogs and I just continually ask for your prayer because Satan is not a fan of the work we do here and as we are pushing the darkness out of Granada Satan is pushing right back at us!  Please pray for strength, unity and wisdom as we live out God's plans and expand His kingdom.
