Movie Night


This week the Youth Center began to offer a weekly movie showing on Thursday night. More than 50 students showed up to enjoy the movie and free popcorn.

When the Youth Center opened in June we purchased 30 chairs using the special Christmas gift of a Minnesota family--but the success and popularity of the Youth Center showed us that we needed more chairs. You may have noticed in our latest newsletter we put an appeal for someone or a group to give us funds to purchase 20 more chairs. Wednesday morning, the day before Movie night, we received word from a supporter that they would like to purchase the 20 chairs that we asked for in the newsletter. Rodger and Dixie went to Davao on Thursday morning to buy the chairs and that night they were all filled with a few kids standing to watch the movie.

I wonder....did we limit the number of students who came to the movie by our lack of faith in only asking for 20 chairs? Just as the oil provided in 2 Kings 4:1-6 was limited by the number of jars.

We praise God for each student who came to watch the movie and ask that you pray with us that the Youth Center will take this opportunity to share with them how much God loves them and how He desires to have a personal relationship with them.
Lord, increase our vision.
