How to Roll with Jesus!



Are you familiar with the "Wheel" develpoed by the Navigator ministry years ago? It represents how a believer in Christ can keep Christ at the center of his/her life. It is often used with new believers to give them instruction on what habits, or spiritual disciplines can help them grow in Christ. We will instruct each day on a different part of the Wheel so that students will know how to study the Word; pray effectively; participate in healthy fellowhip; share one's faith; enjoy the Lord through obedience to the Holy Spirit.
We have some new prayer requests at this point:
  1. Our luggage is jam-packed with wonderful materials for the VBS; nursery school materials; paper goods for lunches being served during VBS; as well as two year's worth of curriculum for Sunday morning worship. Please pray it arrives WITH us! This is of huge importance.
  2. I have taught these concepts in the past to adults and teenagers. Please pray for clarity in our presentations as we communicate cross-culturally, as well as to a wide span of ages. Pray for our translators to be understood.
  3. We will be using skits; activities/games; power point; worksheets to communicate each day. Pray that there are no technical difficulties with the projection system and computer as the power point will add to the ability to communicate the truths participants need to grasp.
We praise the Lord for His generosity through His people to make this trip possible. As we are buying the different items we need for the trip, we are also able to purchase things we just want to take with us which will bless the community and give kids just plain ole's fun!
