Bring on the kids!

Back on June 5th I did a post on a book I was reading that had me on the census bureau website looking up the number of kids there are in Madison Co.(12,490) as a part of an exercise on Children's Ministry Leadership & team building.

Well, let me just tell you that God is sending us kids and I feel honored that He trusts us with His little ones! Tonight I updated the attendance from June & July (with Aug 3rd attached)since we're ending our year this Friday with our Graduation and completion ceremony! When I finished updating everything, I realized that we saw 91 different kids over that 2 month time period! WOW!!! That's a record for us!

I said that not to "toot our horn" or say "wow look at us"... I said that to say this: God is sending us kids who need to hear about Jesus and we need to be ready to deliver! I want to make sure that the kids who come to MCC feel loved, welcomed, accepted, valued and most importantly learn that Jesus is REAL, He loves them and will always be with them - no matter what!

With that in mind, I'm PUMPED to see what's going to happen next and am really excited to get our "back-to-school series" underway. We will be developing everything over the next weeks, so remember to keep us in your prayers.

As we prepare to minister to the kids of Madison Co., I'd like to say this...
1. Bring on the kids... and let us introduce them to Jesus!

2. Only 12,400 kids to go...to spread the gospel to all kids in Madison Co.!

-AND-

3. It's gonna take major teamwork to do this...and I'm glad I'm not in this alone!

Be Blessed :)
