A Word from Pastor (Papa) George

USA – CEF 5-day club 4th day, July 14, 2022

It was another beautiful day for the garage sale

at the Garden of Eden family ministry

and the 4th day of our Child’s Evangelism Fellowship 5-day club.

This also included finding special time with Madilyn to spend with Cheryl and the goats in the petting zoo. Every day is a new day.

But we are a little sad that our CEF team will be finishing tomorrow.

However, the seeds of faith they have sown will continue

to grow in the hearts of every one of us

who have been blessed by their service to the kingdom.

Africa – N Uganda June ministry and Kennedy prayer needs, July 13, 2022

We just received this report from N Uganda.

 

“Blessings team here is the report

from Northern Uganda for June
*We had a mission with Liberation City Ministry at Olayoilong in Bar-dege division and it was attended by about 100 people and 7 people gave their lives to Christ and many deliverances for the glory of God.
*We also had Join pastors fellowship in Pece, Laroo division which was attended by about 305 pastors as we build a Unity program with the churches here in Gulu.”

Pr. David Vito

 
We are also asking you to join with us in prayer for Kennedy,
our overall equipment coordinator for all the countries
in central Africa and coordinator for part of central Uganda.
 
They have a large church family
that has been formed out of the crusades
and door-to-door ministry they have been doing
in an area called Kaliro.
 
They are presently working on putting
on a roof so they can meet when it’s raining.
 
Yesterday, Kennedy was helping,
when a pole fell from the roof and hit him in the head.
He was bleeding out the
mouth, ears and head.
They had to rush him unconscious to the hospital
where his head remains swelled.
Miraculously, he just sent us a text asking
for continued prayer for a full recovery.
 
He actually sent us a photo of him on the hospital bed.

Amazing grace!

USA – CEF 5-day club, garage sale & projects, July 13, 2022

Our first day of Child’s Evangelism 5-day club on Monday

at the Garden of Eden family ministry was fun and faith-packed day.

We were blessed with Angela and 4 teens from the Christian Youth In Action training that is put on by CEF. They are from Whatcom County and have been such a blessing.

It is an interactive, Bible-based presentation of the gospel with wonderful lessons,
singing, scripture, missions, and games.
and equip them to complete the work they have been called to do.

Linda moved the Harvest Kids rabbits (Dove & Bubbles) out to their new home at the petting zoo. Then with some very special servants that donated their time and energy, they started setting up for the Tue-Sat garage sale that will run through the month of July.

Afterward, Clara and Joseph gave a hand with the project that Caleb is working on.
The second day was really special and ended up with the local kids introducing the CEF team to the animals in the petting zoo.

The CEF team was again a blessing to us all and afterward,

Joseph decided he needed to help Caleb again before he left for home.

 

We have only two days left,

and we are really going to miss these young people from Whatcom County.

That will only be until they begin to use their love for Jesus and ministry to come up with some creative ideas in which the Garden of Eden family ministry might be able to help them as they seek God’s guidance, individually and corporately.

That also applies to the many people that are coming to the garage and produce sale.

They are becoming acquainted with the ministry

and

how it can be used to prepare and equip them to complete the work they have been called to do.

USA – CEF 5-day club, July 11, 2022

We have waited so long for this beautiful weather
and to have time to spend with our families and there are so many options.
 
Whether it is the
  • long-awaited camping trip
  • the water park
  • skating rink
  • a trip to the beach
  • or pizza and a roll of quarters at Chucky Cheese
  • and many, many more.
There is also another option

We had our first day of five days of the Child’s Evangelism Fellowship 5-day club

at the Garden of Eden, 14799 Avon Allen Road in west Mt. Vernon WA

It runs from 12:30-2 pm through Friday.

We were privileged to have 5 young people from Whatcom County that sacrificed the first part of their summer vacation to receive more training to reach the young children in our communities. And now they sacrifice to travel and do two 5-day clubs each day for this week.

Yes, there are options,

but to witness the joy and dedication of these young people

to reach even one young child with the good news of the

Father’s love in Jesus Christ is more than worth the time.

The presence of the Lord

and the eternal importance of each child manifests itself in the hearts of each of them.

 

I know it may be a “hassle”

and the kids might even prefer one of the aforementioned options,

but what an opportunity for them to receive this special time

with young people that are willing to sacrifice for them.

There is a good chance that the young boy that supplied the happy meal

that Jesus used to feed the 5,000

after a day of preaching in the hot sun

probably wasn’t that excited to go with mom and dad on that little trip,

but God!

Please pray and consider giving them the opportunity to meet

and be loved on with the word of God through these wonderful young saints.

If we can help, let us know.

This is an opportunity to have your child witness true sacrificial love

by a young teenager that isn’t much older but has found their purpose:

To seek and save those that are lost.

 

Jesus said: “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them.”

This could be a few days of incredible change coming into your child’s life.
