"God doesn't live at my house..."

Slingshot Yorkdale was off a fantastic start!  We had twenty five kids from the neighbourhood come out and about twenty seven volunteers come out for the day!

You'd think twenty seven volunteers was way too much, but after you take away volunteers for snacks and lunch, worship team, and some to focus on particular kids you have just enough!  Urban ministry is all about relationship and so the more the merrier! It was especially helpful having one of regular urban volunteers Ashley McGuire there as well as CYIA Martha Desta and Caroline Karwowski from Tandridge.

It was a pretty crazy day figuring out how to work with all the kids and volunteers but it was a blast.  I shared about David and Goliath and how God can help us with our problems, the kids were then challenged to receive Jesus if they had never done so before. Nine kids responded and were counselled for salvation.

I had the joy of counselling little *Nancy.  She is only three years old but it was amazing how much she understood.  As I asked her questions and talked with her she said she wanted to pray with me.  After we prayed and she opened her eyes she said, "Where's God?!!!"  "God is in your heart, and He is everywhere."  I explained.  "God doesn't live at my house.  He lives at my grandma's house."  she answered.

"...Your Father in heaven is not willing that one of these little ones should perish."

-Matthew 18:14

What a blessing it was to see a three year old receive Jesus and many others, the oldest being a student in Grade nine.  

We're off to a great start.  Thank you for praying for the club.
