June 2014
We just returned from a wedding in Colorado
Springs. It was kind of a 3-day mini vacation blitz. Dana and I
definitely needed a break after this hectic spring. The mountains, Garden of the Gods, Manitou Springs and the
whole area is breath-taking. I admit being a little envious of my friends
who live there. With my mountain bike and motorcycle, I'd be in heaven,
at least when it wasn't snowing.
Ten hours later when we pulled in our little crumbling driveway in urban Kansas City, it was not nearly as exotic as where we spent the last 3 days. We were greeted by Christopher and Amaris, 2 of the neighbor kids. Amaris gave me a hug and said she missed me. It was good to be home.
La Paz House is over for the summer. The kids already tell me they miss it and ask me regularly when it opens up again. The building becomes the sleeping area for the La Paz Kids Summer program the 8 groups that will be doing their mission trip in our neighborhood and area. We will be leading devotions, a worship service, a discussion on immigration, and trying to foster relationships with our neighbors.
Dana is hosting a summer book club for some of the kids.
Summer is busy but Dana and I hope to
regroup and plan for the fall to improve our outreach. It seems that to be effective, we
continually need to be mixing up our programs. We are hoping to recruit some
volunteers to help with La Paz House or lead a class or activity from 6:00 –
7:00 every week or month. These
could be Bible studies, art class, bike repair, book club, math club, science
club, kids exercise, computer club, music lessons, or whatever God brings our
way. We already have a leadership
class and guitar lessons lined up. We also will be setting up a computer café this summer.
I also hope to get the bike shop re-stocked
with bikes and parts. Everyday so
far this summer, I have repaired 2-4 bikes a day on my front porch. Can your church, neighborhood, social group, or business
host a bike drive for us?
I say “thank you” every month in our newsletter. I hope you realize that we are really thankful to you and blessed and honored by your
prayers and donations that allow us to do this ministry.
We love you all.
La Paz de Dios,
Lee & Dana
