The internet has been touchy the last few days, but yesterday I just could not get it to work long enough to update my blog. Yesterday Bri and I led the devotion time in Allen's classroom. We asked the kids last week to write down any questions they have about the Bible or life. A lot of the kids asked questions like, how do we know God exists? or how do we know what the Bible says is true? We were originally planning on doing studies more from the Bible, but we realized that these kids don't believe that the Bible is a credible source. What's the point in teaching from the Bible if they don't think anything in the Bible is real? We felt totally out of our comfort zones leading a time talking about proof that God is real and the Bible is true. As a resuly, we spend a lot of time researching this past week! We also emailed a couple people asking for some links that they know would be a good source for information. In the end we had a 6 page packet of information and a video clip. God really gave us wisdom on weeding through all of the information and figuring out the best way to present it to the kids. They loved the discusion! The other teacher in Allen's class was so impressed that he asked us to make a copy of our packet for him. The kids all realized that, from a scientific point of view, there is a ton of evidence that there is a God, and that what happend in the Bible is true. We talked about things like the Dead Sea Scrolls that prove the proficies were writen 100-200 years before Christ was born. We gave them a ton of scientific evidence that the only way to explain many things using science (such as the tides, the earth's magentic field, Jupiter's temperature, etc.) is that the earch was created by God. The kids talked about it all day long. They all asked for a copy of our information as well because they were so excited. Well, I don't have much time so this will have to be all for now. Thank you all for your prayers!
There will be no blog updates for the next few days. We are going on a road trip and we won't have internet. Please pray for safety and rest :)

We were praying God would really use you two to shed the truth of the Bible on these teens! I pray they will continue to investigate it all themselves and come to a saving knowledge that Jesus is their one and only Savior!
I love you two and am really proud of all the hard work you put into this.
Have fun "meandering" and be safe!
Love,
Mom
