Kids Church with A.J. & Jewel

Throughout the summer, A.J. & Jewel have been assisting Paradise Valley Mennonite Church with their Wednesday evening Kids Church. Jewel has been teaching the youngest class.

Yesterday's lesson was about Moses' encounter with the burning bush and God telling him to take off his shoes, so Jewel brought a few types of shoes for the children to see and try on.

Coloring is a favorite activity.

A.J. has been opening Kids Church with an exciting Bible story and also assisting in the youth class.

Despite a sizzling August, it's apparently never too hot to play outside!

Back to School...

Kids in Phoenix headed back to school this week and generally seemed excited about it...with no family vacations or activities many of these kids are left at home while there parents work throughout the summer.  They are excited to go back to school to have something to do...

The most exciting thing this week was....AJ found a job!  Or the job found AJ.  Once again God has been so awesome providing flexible jobs for both of us.  AJ will be working for a carpenter who makes primarily cabinets and Murphy beds.  Allot  of the same things AJ did when he was an intern out here 5 years ago.

This week Aim  Right had a vision day.  Leaders and interns at Aim Right met and literally drew out there vision for Aim Right on paper.  We also discussed goals and dreams for the future. It was a great time to connect as a leadership team.

New interns are arriving this weekend and I am excited that there is an Iowa girl.  Please pray as 2 girls and 1 guy make the transition these next few weeks.

Were still here...

Sorry about the lack of updates lately, we are still in Phoenix!  We have been enjoying some less busy summer hours right now and it has allowed us to focus on getting a much needed second car and finding part time jobs.

God has continued to provide and show us that we are supposed to be here with his providing an orthodontic part time job close by for me (Jewel) and a second car so that AJ can find a job too.  We feel very blessed!

The ministry  here in Sunnyslope is slow but steady, we were approved by the city of Phoenix to volunteer at the community center,  meaning our finger prints and back round checks came back clear!  Had a bit of a scare with AJ being questioned about his record...turns out there is another Adam J. Miller born on the same day that has a shady past. 

Aim Right is on summer break this month but continues to have Monday night Bible Study for the teens, we also have continued Kids Church at Paradise Valley Church with kids here in our community.  This happens every Wednesday night and starts out with singing and AJ having a story/character trait for the evening and then breaking into classes.  I have been teaching the 1st-3rd graders, and AJ may start teaching the teen age class. 

Once again thanks so much for your continued prayers and support!  We could not be here without YOU!
