Thursday, July 15th

We're having exciting days with the children here in St. Paul de Vence.

Yesterday we set a new record for enrollment for this location.

Yesterday we talked about the story of the "lost sheep" and discussed how Jesus always goes in search of his "lost sheep".

One boy, C., about 8 years old, asked his "main group" teacher how he could receive Christ. She told him that he just needed to invite Jesus to come into his life. "That's all?" he asked. "Yes," his teacher said. "Well then, I want to invite Him in."

Earlier in the week, an 8-year-old girl asked for her own Bible. All we had available at that moment was a very easy reader Bible designed to be read to preschool children. She took it home and read it all the way through that night -- about 150 or so pages. The next day she returned and said she wanted a Bible with "the little numbers" on it, and wanted to know how to use the numbers". Exciting.

Thank you for your prayers and for being here in spirit, and keep on praying for these children. You are a valued asset to this ministry.
