BEARING FRUIT!

GOD SQUAD!
What a couple of clowns!

About 6 years ago we sensed God doing something in our midst as it pertained to the kids in our community. So by the seat of our pants we began a ministry called "God Squad" for kids ages 5-6th grade. The first year was pretty much a hodge podge of ideas that reached mostly the kids of the church. We probably averaged about 18-20. Well, as God would have it, the vision turned into reality as we now have seen the fruit of what God was up to, should we just pay attention. And because of the help of many volunteers we have been averaging between 70-80 kids on a Wednesday after school and evening that involves a meal, drama, high energy music, scripture memory, a lesson, and prayer. And the greatest thing - most of those attending now are unchurched kids who are hearing for the first time of God's love for them through His Son Jesus. So praise Jesus for His most unbelievable work. And thank you to all who have helped over the years. Carry on, good and faithful servants!
