Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you were not allowed to go to church?  In our village area of Kansaworado, Ghana, there are children who are not allowed to attend church on Sunday; but, their parents will allow them to come to the weekly neighborhood Bible club.

April Schwanke was here for a year to teach for the Charlie Luther family.  She did much more than that though.  She was very involved in the church.  She started holding a weekly Bible club for the neighborhood children.  She just went back to the States a couple weeks ago and will be going to work in Gambia in August teaching some more missionary kids there.  We were very sad to see her go.  We wanted to keep her Bible club going; so, I took up where she left off.  Yesterday, we started out with six, and by the end of the hour, there were twenty-one children.
