Our attempt to do D groups with the kids way surpassed whatever we had pictured in our minds. Tommy and I took the oldest 6 kids and did a group and then the older kids each took several younger kids and repeated the process.  I think I'm always a little shocked when kids do what I suggest! Our verse card for yesterday was about God having a wonderful plan for each of them, and that He would never fail or abandon them. The story we did was about Jesus calming the sea. We gave the kids in standard 4 and up each one of the little red booklets (parts of which are shown below) with their name on the front.  They were treasuring them.  The sight of the kids spread over the lawn doing the groups with each other was pretty cool.  Tommy was quite the inspirer.  He was talking to the boys about revival starting at Kitoben, and was drawing pictures of how multiplication can reach the world! They love the verse keychains too.  Right when we pulled up yesterday, they greeted us and immediately ran to the meeting room, waiting to get their next verse addition.  I guess you and I can really do this stuff, because we feel pretty clueless.

Today we are going again and have several visitors that want to go with us.  Should be fun. Thanks again for praying for us and for Tommy's call, it went good.  One down 3 or 4 to go. We continue to be so very grateful for our friends!!
