We have just formed a new youth class at church.....a couple weeks ago. Addy & I are the leaders and each Sabbath we have a couple more kids. Yesterday we had 14 and I had just enough lessons copied. I had just received the lessons by mail on last Friday.
The kids all seemed very happy to have them and participated in the bible study we had. The kids who have bibles shared with those who don't. Thats another problem some kids just don't own a bible. Next Sabbath I'm going to take extra bibles for those who don't have one.
We held youth class under 2 trees for the first couple weeks but we had to fight uneven ground with church pews and battle ants nests. This past Sabbath we put up our 10x10 shelter on part of the churches concrete slab outside. We had to hang 2 big beach towels on one side so the sun wouldn't beat down on the kids in between the down pours. Sorry to say even though they are interested we are being drowned out by the echoing adult class inside the church and/or the little kids class.
So we are going to ask around and see who owns the animal/hay shelter across from the church and ask if we can clean it up and use it.
As the weeks progress I expect the kids will open up more and more!
Please pray for this effort because this is an age group here that is caught up and lost to gangs and drugs.
