"God's Heart For The Nations" at New Heart

Sunday, March 11th, we completed Janis' 6-week series entitled, "God's Heart For The Nations," at New Heart, the church our son and his family attend in La Mirada. The lessons incorporate art and storytelling from various cultures in communicating God's truth and His desire to see all peoples come to Him.

What a delight! The kids were enthusiastic, receptive, responsive, and creative. This was another chance to pilot this curriculum Janis is developing to use art in creatively advancing the Kingdom of God.

Here are the students hard at work on a project:


















Here are some of the students displaying their color wash - cut out in the shape of their hand - and a bead bracelet. Several of these "hands" will be given to students in India this summer during Raki, a special festival when bracelets are exchanged especially between sisters and brothers.































On a personal note, as good grandparents, we happen to have some very cute pictures we'd like to show you of our grandaughter. However, we won't bore you with having to watch them with us, but you can see them for yourself at: http://elindley.blogspot.com

News Flash!!! Our departure date for India has now been set for July 2!!! Things are developing verrry fast!

It's so fun to see how you each use your talents & gifts from God for His glory!! Blessings as you prepare to head to India for your next adventure with God. We're excited & honored to follow along & see how He uses you.

On a side note, we checked on flights through India...it won't happen, but we wondered if we could squeeze a day or 2 in when we head to VietNam to bring our precious Noah home.

Sheri, David, Micah & Noah--waiting in VietNam
