Our next meeting was held in Brawley, California just 25 miles from the Mexico border. On Saturday, August 25, 2018, the church held a Family Fun Night: they grilled hamburgers and hot dogs; the adults played table games; and the kids slid down an inflated water slide and jumped in the bouncy house. Around 114 children from the church and community enjoyed the fun. After we ate, I pulled Randy out of his Bungalow to help me tell the story of Samson and his battle with the Philistines. After sharing the gospel using one of my object lessons, everyone headed outside for the water slide to cool off after a hot day.
That Sunday, August 26, 2018, at 9:00 a.m., we started with a whole family Sunday School class with Rawley helping me with the story of Jonah and his trip to Nineveh. For the morning service the children entered the auditorium to see Rodney and the story of Daniel and his confrontation with the Presidents and Princes of the Medes and the Persians. Then, the children left for Children’s Church and I preached from John 3 with a clear invitation for salvation and to Christians to reach their lost friends. For Sunday night Rosie “came” to talk about Hannah and how God answers prayer. After presenting our ministry with the church, I preached from the gospel of Mark. Please pray for Western Avenue Baptist Church as they seek for a pastor and to reach Brawley with the gospel.
