Hungry to Hear... The hunger children in India have for learning the Word of God is amazing! Good Life now has 79 Good Life Clubs reaching around 5000 children weekly with truths from God's Word. Children look forward to the weekly meeting so much that sometimes when a  teacher is unable to be there they still meet and have a time of singing and sharing!  Passing it on... As an 8th grade boy, Sathyam, attended our Good Life Club. He accepted the Lord and was baptized several years ago. Now he is in college. Because of his faithfulness to the Lord, his brother Jangiah who is 35 years old has come to know the Lord and was recently baptized. We are challenged and blessed by students like Sathyam, who carry the truths they have learned in their hearts. As they do so, Christ's love overflows touching the lives of those around them. What I Have Seen... I had the privilege of spending 10 days in India with Sam and Becca. Out of all we saw I enjoyed the Good Life Clubs the most. I loved the children's enthusiasm in song, their intent eyes on the one teaching, and their joy in just knowing your name or shaking your hand. But I also saw how little they had, many were dirty, their houses less than desirable, and spiritual darkness was rampant... ...I remember holding a child and his Mother telling me that I should take him home with me. I was surprised that a Mother would be so unfeeling towards her own child! But perhaps...she realized how little they had and wanted more for her child. Those children need a lot of things: food, homes, and love but more than that they need spiritual food and that is what the Good Life Clubs provide. Not only do they leave with a smile on their face because of the games they play and the fun they have, but in a world that is full of lies, they are given truth. Truth that can and does change lives. I can no longer view Indian children as a statistic because now they have familiar faces. ~ Darla Hawbaker How You Can be Involved... You can be a part of providing children with the Truth of the Gospel by giving:  $200 for the start up costs of a Good Life Club  $100 for a duffle bag for the teacher with enough scissors, crayons, glue etc. for 60-100 children $100 for a Sports Kit as tools to work with children building relationships and encouraging them to grow in character. This includes: volleyball, soccer ball, cricket bat and balls, jump ropes and ring balls. $6.00 a week Or $25 a month provides funds for ongoing costs of a Good Life Club These funds provide children with a piece of candy/snack  Materials for a craft (making copies etc.) Crafts are such an important part of Good Life Clubs for these reasons: It gives the child a hands on activity to reinforce the lesson they have just learned and boosts the child's self esteem that "they" have made something on their own!  It gives a child something to take home and share with their parents what they have learned and made. It takes God's Word into their homes. It encourages children to come to the Good Life Club and bring their friends. More children hear God's Word and can make decisions for Jesus Christ!
