Dear Key Club,
Thanks for praying this past week for me as I drove to OK - all went well! I was able to visit 2 friends along the way, which was fabulous, and my time with friends in OK has been great. On the first night we went to a restaurant called "Pops". They have hundreds of pops to choose from - the "sodagusting" ones were pretty funny - dog drool, bug barf, and kitty piddle... Yesterday I went horseback riding on Boomer.
On Thursday...I spent time with 3 retired Air Force couples in Omaha. We had a great chat about the ups and downs of military life and I heard testimonies as to what it was like for them to raise their children in the military community. I had an opportunity to share with them about Malachi. Although each family had served at least 20 years in the service, they hadn't come in contact with a Malachi youth group. (Currently, Malachi is only working in Germany and Japan because we just don't have enough workers to expand to other bases.)
On Sunday...I shared about Malachi in 2 chapel services at Tinker Air Base. This went pretty well and a number of people responded by joining the Key Club! I'll have a chance to visit with some of these folks again at Wednesday night Bible study.
On Wednesday...the Tinker chapel holds Bible studies for all ages. All the groups start out by eating dinner together, then split into their various studies. However this week, all the groups will be staying together, and I'll be leading them through a fun, interactive night. I plan to pair younger people with older people and have them discuss a variety of things pertaining to one's spiritual life and military upbringing. My hope is that different generations would engage with one another, and that some of the "older" folks would catch the vision and need for strong youth ministry programs, and consider how they might become involved in investing in youth. Would you please pray for this night? 50-75 people usually come, however, it's spring break week, so numbers might be lower.
On Friday...I'll be driving to San Antonio, please pray for safe travels. (This will be my first time in TX.)
On Sunday...I'll be sharing about Malachi in a chapel service at Lackland Air Force Base.
Thank you so much for you prayers - knowing that I'm being prayed for gives me tremendous peace and courage.
Because of Christ,
Beth
