Knowledge, Prayer and Fellowship

A Parent’s Testimony

1/31/24

The Lord put it on my heart to give you guys a call today with this praise report. My children attended the good news club that was hosted at Thomas Elementary for the first time yesterday. My son had heard about the club and really pushed for him and his little sister to join because he wanted to learn more about God. Needless to say I was not disappointed! The first thing they wanted to talk about after returning home yesterday was how amazing the club was and how nice their teacher Aaron was. 

 

They spoke about how Jesus died for all of our sins and how he sacrificed (and yes they used this word) himself for us. What really blew me away is they knew the story of Paul and how God changed his name from Saul. Wow! How many children can you say that would even know that information? Not only did they know this story, but it opened up such a beautiful conversation about the books that Paul wrote. I was even able to tie it into how it doesn’t matter what we’ve done in our past God can still use us. 

 

I am thankful for this program because it is teaching my kids directly from the scriptures. Not only are they learning in a way that is on their level but the conversations it organically produced within my home was amazing. We go to church about 3 times a week however this was very engaging for them where even though they are learning about God they don’t seem bored at all!

What you guys are doing is a blessing for their generation who are exposed to way more than we were growing up. 

Please continue this ministry and know that God is using this program to bless our children. And not only bless them but raise them in the way they should go because we know when they grow old they will never depart from it. It takes a village and I’m glad the Lord has blessed you guys to be a part of my children’s lives. 

I thank you guys for blessing my children with knowledge, prayer, and fellowship.

Praise God with us for:

  1. Children learning about Jesus in the afterschool Good News Club and their enthusiasm to attend with siblings and friends.
  2. More approvals in Sanger Unified to start additional Clubs.
  3. The Parent who felt compelled to call and share her wonderful testimony of her children’s experience with Good News Club. May others have the same experience.

Pray with us for:

  1. More monthly donors to support the ministry and for those who have given in the past to consider a recurring gift to support this important work.
  2. Churches to consider adopting schools and sponsorship Good News Clubs so that many more children can learn, especially for families who do not attend church.
  3. Wisdom as we pursue new geographic areas for ministry and opportunities to return to Clovis Unified School District.
