Please pray for the Clark/Binnsmead PREP4Kids Bible Class. This has been a long-standing and very effective class. Recently, Portland Public Schools has chosen to re-locate students from the Clark Elementary school to the Binnsmead school.
Binnsmead is now 0.8 mi away from its PREP4Kids Classroom.
Our challenge is: How do we get our students to their Bible Class? We need Drivers? We need a closer location? We need God's help adapting to this change. Thank you for praying.

Diane met with the bankers at Pacific Continental Bank today to hammer out the details of getting PREP4Kids ready to accept Credit and Bank-card Donations.

She also took the opportunity to share two of the PREP4Kids cookbooks with her friends at the bank!

Go Diane! You're doing a great job!

Workers Preparing for Harvest

What a wonderful week we've had here at the PREP4Kids office, welcoming close to 90 volunteers through our doors for training! Diane encouraged us from the book of Psalms to see ourselves and the kids we minister to as God sees them....precious in His sight and specially designed for His use. Amy ushered us through this year's curriculum in the book of Acts and even taught us some new songs! We reviewed classroom and safety policies so that the children entrusted to us will be safe and well-taught. Willis debuted our new and improved website, which now has so many helpful tools for parents, volunteers, and people new to PREP4Kids. Diane also shared exciting news about the future of PREP...radio advertising and our first major fundraising banquet. We can now confidently look ahead to the new school year, knowing we have been well-trained to do the work that God has called us to do.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:37-38

Coming Events

July 14 - 18, 2008

All Volunteers will be attending a Training Session for one day this week. All classes will be held from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Be sure to bring a sandwich!

It is a great time for getting to know others who are working with classes for other schools. Lots of exciting things are happening that you will want to know about. There are many new ways to share the opportunity with those who may not know about PREP4Kids. Come and learn the part you can play in presenting the Word of God to children who are eager to know about Jesus.
