We have had two great clubs last night and Thursday night. The number of kids coming has been declining a little (37 Thursday, 32 last night), but that has actually been a blessing because many of our team members have had more opportunities to talk one-on-one with kids. We haven't had to work through too many distractions, and the kids are more attentive each day.
We were hoping to have an opportunity to get involved with some of the teens of White River too, and God provided it on Thursday evening when we were invited to play basketball with some teens in the local housing. We were invited back to play last night as well.
Yesterday evening, Ben Miers talked with a boy named Alex from his club and led him to Christ! This is the first time since we've been in South Dakota that we've had a child respond to the gospel and accept Christ as Savior in one of the clubs. We have been planting and watering lots of seeds, but it's exciting to be a part of the harvest and see God change a heart.
Last night we had our team devotions at a place called Emily Point; it's on a rise over the grassland and provided a great view of the setting sun over the White River area. We enjoyed the landscape, worshiping the God who created it all.
Today is our last day of clubs, and we have several prayer requests:
1. Clear communication of the gospel - we will be sharing the gospel through the Balls of Many Colors or the wordless book in each of the clubs tonight.
2. Barbecue - we are hosting a barbecue for kids and their families before clubs this evening, and we hope to have some good conversations with parents and kids.
3. Safety as we travel back home tomorrow
