April 3rd - 9th
Week 14: CLC Global Events Monday (3rd) – Philippines:
We thank the Lord for all who attended our annual Daily Vacation Bible School (DVBS) training workshop that was held on April 1st. It is our prayer that many children (and their parents!) will be reached during the months of April and May when most DVBSs usually occur. ~ Romualdo Macinas, Asia Pacific Regional Director
Tuesday (4th) – Panama::
We thank God that we were able to hold our first ‘Reading Circle for Children’ in March. Five sessions were held at the Vía España bookshop, and it is our hope that God will speak directly to the heart of each child in attendance. Join us in praying that each day these children will grow closer to Jesus. Please also pray that nearby private schools will continue to open their doors to our ministry. It is our hope that they will allow us to participate at their school fairs and events. We have a wonderful selection of resources that we believe would really impact their students, faculty and parents. ~ Sara De Gracia, National Director
Wednesday (5th) – United Kingdom:
It will once again be the Sunday School Prize Giving season in the UK throughout the month of May. The month is going to be especially hectic for the Highland Bookvan team as they are planning to do a variety of bookstalls with the children’s books for the Sunday School teachers, along with working in the Inverness bookshop and attending CLC UK’s annual conference. ~ Esther Dowey, CLC UK Trustee
Thursday (6th) – Switzerland:
Over the next few months, we are planning to attend at least four meetings at different churches, accompanied by Luca Durante, a Christian musician. Luca will perform a few songs that we hope will touch hearts, and share his testimony. We will also bring a bookstall along, and it is our hope that our visit will illustrate how much CLC wants to serve and partner with them. ~ Carlo Ciafani, National Director
Friday (7th) – Sierra Leone:
We will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary in February, 2018, so we are planning to have a whole year of celebrations. We launched our first celebration this past February (2017) at the Wesley Methodist Church. Please pray that we will continue to plan successful events that allow us to share the incredible testimonies of God’s goodness to us throughout the last 50 years! ~ Donald John, National Director
