Kid Stuff

Every Wednesday I meet with three awesome ladies that make up the core team of our C-kids ministry.  Tonight was no exception.  We met at Chili's, had a great dinner and a great conversation over the changes that are coming at The Stone.  It was a great time of sharing and dreaming for our ministry.  Well, as we were getting ready to leave I received  a text message from my sister and one from another individual.  Both were helping out with our weekly student gathering and apparently our Connections Director, Brenda, and our Student Director, Joaquin, were challenging our students to step it up and start getting involved in serving.  There are about 9 student leaders that are part of our C-Kids ministry and several of them spoke on the power of serving.  The text messages I received were regarding what these students were saying.  I called my sister and she told me that these kids were speaking so highly of the children they serve on Sundays.  I was so delighted to know that these students who have so many things going on in their lives with school, parents, relationships, peer pressure, drama, i could go on and on were so excited to be part of something bigger than themselves.  They were sharing with the rest of the group that what they do matters.  One girl put it best, she said:  "Serving in C-kids has changed me, I think about my kids before I do anything.  I always think to myself 'if my kids knew I was about to do this, what would they think.'  Serving has saved me.  My kids have saved me from doing stupid things.  And they are my kids, not the kids."  God is totally changing this young girl's life through the power of serving preschoolers.  Never underestimate the power of God through children.
