Our Youth Group

Youth group is still going great and I wanted to share a few pictures of what it looks like.  I took a few pictures of the kids as they were filing into church this past Saturday afternoon.  Again, it was raining like cats and dogs, but the kids still made the 2 mile walk.  It was a rough day for me, I have been struggling with Bronchitis for the past two weeks, and barely made it through the hour and a half of praise and worship and Bible teaching time, but God is good and he got me through it.

Thanks for all the prayers for the youth ministry here. The kids are learning so much and have been so dedicated to youth group meetings this year. I can really start to see a big difference in the attitudes of a lot of the older kids and especially the boys. The boys struggle with lots of issues, from anger, to depression. If you could only imagine growing up in a home where at the age of 11 you are responsible for caring for younger siblings, cooking for them, getting them to school, caring for the house and much more. It is a lot of responsibility and a hard task for us parents in our culture back in the US, but this a a cultural norm for children here in Namibia. So once you understand this, you can see why so many young youth struggle with such problems at a young age. There is not much time for fun and being a kid, it is time for being the man or woman of the house.


So please continue to pray for our youth and our ministry to them for the glory of God.

Here are some pictures from this past Saturday's youth meeting.
