Summer ministry is over, all the 5-Day Club paperwork has ceased, and we starting the school year. Our last little bit of summer fun will take place this evening as we have a little cookout with our two summer missionaries, but tomorrow starts with Good News Club training!
Tomorrow morning from 8am-12 we will be teaching a four hour training class on how to teach a Good News Club as well as lead a child to Christ. Please pray that we will have many teachers come out and also that God would give us the words to say.
Another big prayer request we have is for us as we start Christian Ministries Institute classes on Monday as well as a support training class. These three things combined are going to suck up huge amounts of time, so pray that we are able to balance work with classes.
Finally, we need your support. We need more than just prayer; we need people who are willing to back up this ministry and us with faithful, monthly donations.
In Christ,
Steven and Kayla

2500 Miles Later
Good morning friends!
This summer is going by way too fast. While driving our missionaries to a club this past week we all suddenly realized there is only one week of clubs left after this week at the farm show.
For all eleven years that I have been teaching 5-Day clubs, it has always been a sad feeling to realize the summer is almost over-not because summer means no school and lots of fun, but because I loved teaching children about Jesus and and building relationships and memories. I have been blessed this year by our two missionaries because I have seen the same passion and excitement in them that I had as a summer missionary. They don't want the summer to come to an end either!
Please pray that God will continue to develop and encourage these girls (Becky Shirey and Angelina Gottron) even after this summer is over, and that their passion would stay alive. We are already excited for next summer! We are praying for ten summer missionaries next year-pray with us!
Aside from the summer ministry, we have also been working on the Good News Club© (GNC) ministry for the upcoming school year. We are overjoyed to report that we have opened one up in two new schools, Mars primary/elementary and Mars Centennial. That makes a total of three GNC on this fall fall including Moraine elementary and we are working on getting a fourth ready to go in January.
So what we need is for you to cover this GNC project in prayer! We have a training scheduled for August 24, for those who are going to be helping/teaching at the GNC. Pray for us as we study and teach, that God would speak through us. Also, pray that we would have many excited volunteers. Finally, pray that the children come. God is going to do great things.
