NBC teaches the Bible (it's not what you think)

We value outreach.

Often I cite things going on around the world, but tonight I want to praise God for the first of a series of clubs meeting in Wayne County, OH.  Wooster Grace offers Neighborhood Bible Clubs (NBCs) where host families invite children to their homes to have fun, to study the Bible, and to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thus, NBC teaches the Bible.


The Number 4--This past week Linda Kline, NBC coordinator, taught a club at the Northwestern Religious Education Building in the morning.  60 children enrolled during the week with the average attendance of 47.  The best number was 4. Four children made first time public commitments to Christ. 

Keep praying for the other clubs starting later this summer.  The other club at Carrie Becker's house had 25 children on the last night. More detailed stats were not available tonight.  When I get them I will post them here.

Still, keep praying for the children who came. May each child who heard God's Word continually apply what they learned. May God increase their knowledge of Him.  May each one grow in Christ by remembering that "I am a child of God (John 1:12)."  Moreover, please pray for the two clubs at the Norwayne Religious Education Building.  May many children come to have fun, to study God's Word, and to respond to the Gospel.
