Mid Summer's Break & Still More Opportunity to Serve!

Since June 5, 2017 Kidz Lithuania has been on the move non-stop preparing for training camps with special guests Isaac Smythia and Brittany Hunt Powell along with outreaches in different cities across the nation of Lithuania we have been on the go.  July 22, 2017 our last team from Erie Shores & Radiant Life left us a little sad the fellowship was amazing for our entire team.
Isaac Smythia shared the Word. Youth & Adults Responded.

 During the middle of our preparation we endured the worse storm in over 20years.  In the middle of afternoon games, a storm blew in quickly;  I phoned from the front of the home to go inside and we headed out to pick up supplies in the middle of a "Microburst Storm"  leaving our capital city flooded. That evening there was a lake on the highway.

I've never witnessed before the clouds coming down and kissing the ground; the picture does not do it justice.  The amount of rain that fell this day was astounding, and left the city center and main highway under water leaving many without electricity.

We headed out and served side by side with Panevegyz, Jonava & Svenconyz.  Some of the team members served in laying tile inside of one church and outside on the other.  They worked so hard and so unselfishly.  Such an amazing group of servants.  Pastor Harry Hunt & Pastor Dave Gross you have sent such hard working servants.

It's been good summer so far and we are mid summer.  Our teams are now gone but we still have August to reach out and touch the lives of Lithuanian Children and some elderly.  

Prayer Requests:
  • First week of August, Paulius Slepikas and many of our travel team members will be serving in the Urban Camp as Camp Leaders, and also helping with the program.  Please keep them in prayer.  This will be their fourth camp of the summer.  
  • Elderly Day Camp, we have a great opportunity to share the Love of Jesus with Pensioneers.  August 8-10, we will be doing a day camp for 20 elderly shut-ins with the desire to share the Gospel during their golden hours.  Pray that our kids will remain sensitive and allow the Holy Spirit to work through their every word and action.
  • August 20-23, Leadership Retreat and Preparation for this fall schedule for our Leaders & Leaders in Training.
  • Pray for our Leaders in training: Augustas Mozuras, Gabriele Volskaite, Justas Slepikas, and Erika Eis.  
Praise Reports

The Lord has blessed us above and beyond through the prayers and kind connections of a great friend.  We had a great financial break through in June and pray that this storm has passed.  Thank you to Toledo Calvary, Wapakonetta First, Erie Shores & Isaac Smythia for being a part of our miracle.
