Neighborhood Bible Time is over. We had a great week. I think I was told that 105 children came to NBT. I don't know how many of those children came to know the Lord but it was a great deal. Each child was spiritually fed and then given an invitation. If they wanted to know more about Jesus and going to heaven, we took them into the counsel room and they were talked to one on one. They were asked very open ended questions and were not forced to pray. Some weren't ready and we will continue to pray for those dear ones. Many were unsure and received assurance. It's a wonderful ministry and I'm so glad that I was able to be apart of it.
Friday evening, there was an award ceremony. They awarded the top four children in each grade. Both of girls friends, Taylor and Samantha placed in the top four receiving a special ribbon. Most all of the children worked very hard at learning verses through out the week. Rebecca quoted from memory 10 verses and Emily 8. They were both the top winners in their grade. Rebecca also made such a great impression on Mr. Luis, the evangelist, that she was awarded the most honorable of prizes: Mr. Luis's ribbons which reach all the way to the ground. That was a great honor and she was walking on clouds.
All week, the children do the Booster cheer. It gets stuck in my head as well and I'm sure I'll be humming it for days to come. The juniors (4th-6th grade booster) requested that the parents and visiting family also do the booster cheer. It was quite funny since most of them didn't know what to do. If they were awarded ribbons, I'd have to say that Jason, Samantha and Taylor's dad, would not get one. Who sits down halfway through the cheer? Come on!
I'm sure there are things that I left out so if I've confused you on anything pertaining to NBT, leave me a comment. I'm sleep deprived as I had a long week them got up at the crack of dawn to have a yard sale at 6:30 with our friends moving to Japan. What am I thinking?
