Gossip ???

Gossip, it can tear someone up from the inside out. If you make a bad choice in what you wear or do it could flutter around to a ton of people and they could hear what really happened, a tweaked story, or something that did not even happen. Then you are the person who everyone laughs at. This could and does extremely hurt people, even to the verge of suicide. This is a very serious thing. Therefor we have a challenge to not gossip or say anything negative.What does the bible say about this?? Proverbs 11:13¹³ Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered, and Proverbs 20:19 ¹⁹ Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler. Also we had about 50 kids there. The games we played were Hoops (simple, shoot the b-ball into the can) and everyone raced to the middle and struggled to get the object in the center. Overall the night was good. Thank you for reading, God bless :)

A new start

The Ark was a new start this week. The staff came together and a meeting was held on Monday we prayed and really asked each and everyone who wants to be involved as servants in this ministry to make sure they are prepared and this is where The Lord wants them. We started off The Ark sharing our desire that the kids listen to the message. Matthew 7:24-27 ²⁴ “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. ²⁷ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” We asked the kids to share their struggles and explained what sin is. Then asked them to start thinking about really hearing the words and teachings from the bible to overcome struggles and start to build a foundation. We implemented alot of structure and it went very well. We were happy too see such the response from the youth to the guidance that we continue to seek from God.

Human Foosball, dodge ball, games,silent ball and prayer ended the evening with a real sense of  joy, peace, love and light.

Continuing His Ministry with blessings and obedience we thank you all.
God Bless

 

We Can MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!

Today was a GREAT DAY !! We had a special of chicken and fries. We played games with basketballs. Drills, exercises, and workouts all with basketballs. People who were not interested did crafts, played board games or sat and talked. The message today was about how we need to take what we learn in the Ark and take it outside the fence. That we can make a difference in the community if we stand together one standing alone can do a lot less then many standing together. So we are going to try to take what we learn in the Ark and carry it with us. Lets all try and make a difference !!!

Thank You for reading and God Blesd you !! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

What is your new years resolution?? Well, The  resolution for the youth at The Ark is for everybody to take what they learn and bring that outside of The Ark. We learn about God, respect, kindness, The Bible, responsibility, doing onto other as you would like done onto you and how to get along with all people. Imagine what we could accomplish if we where to live that example outside of The Ark. What influence we could have on others. Instead of being influenced negatively by others. Where do we find strength for that, in God. Excited for a new year and what we will be lead to do in this community.
We played Human Foosball, and silent ball, as well as Scrabble and crafts. It was a relatively quite night and enjoyed by all.
God Bless
