Are you ready for the Good Sonshine to come down?

We are just in the middle of July and we have had a wonderful time of growing, and maturing pulling together our new team in unity.  I know and I am persuaded to side up with the words of Paul, "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ."  Philippians 1:6.

God is so good, as you know we shared that we had 5 young ladies graduating this summer; with Mindaugas & Indre seeking full-time employment; this meant a lot of change coming to our team and the person I'm this concept just could totally mess with my planning mind.  Then one afternoon while we were in our recruiting camp back in the beginning of June the Lord had to remind me of HIS plans.  So I just relaxed and prepared myself for the Good Sonshine.

We are almost completely done in re-arranging and training our 2016/2017 ministry team, "Kidz Lithuania"  I will have a team photo by the end of this week.  I can say God always fulfills His promises.  We have a team of 16 youth with 4 others that are through the program but want to help when they can; so in the middle of thinking we are going down to 8 God multiplied our team to 16 so we have a bigger team.  My hope is always to have a stronger team.  Paulius, Karen & Kreta have stepped up to lead the team; and Milda & Sima, both who graduated this year have made a commitment to coach the team.

They have come ready with a desire to learn and prepare.  Our "Spiritual Champions" Training camp began July 17, 2016 and we leave here July 24, 2016 for our first Summer Day Camp (VBS) for one week, and we have two more weeks of camp to follow.

Please pray that they continue to grow in their scripture memory; desire to know the Lord and their choices to please Him everyday.

Pray as we Prepare for our Final Summer Outreach

We are in the preparation stage for our last outreach for the summer.  We will return August 18-20, for a three day evangelistic outreach in Jonava.  We are partnering with the Jonava Youth Center, Kaunas Christian Church and a Swedish team.

Kidz Lithuania, is responsible for the children's gatherings; while the Swedish team will join with Kaunas Christian for the evening adult evangelistic meeting.

First, I want to thank you for all that prayed for our team while we were out on ministry in July.   Our team battled a physical battle during a five day event; including our key leader have appendicitis.  In a few days everyone was healthy including Paulius, who has recouped without surgery.  We give the Lord all the glory and we are grateful for our Christian Family around the world who invest in us through the giving of your time in prayer, and financial sacrifices.

After this upcoming outreach, our team leaders will gather for a 3 day retreat, to access our strengths, weakness, where we need to improve and lay out the calendar through the end of the year.  

Milda, (pictured above with Frenchie) one of the young ladies who graduated high school this year agreed to work with me this summer as an administrator, which is a difficult skill if you have no official training.  However, overall she has done well and worked hard.   It has been a learning process having her first job ever but I'm grateful for her heart and service and she has agreed to continue through out the year, while she studies here in Vilnius.
