Matt Gillander, from Paradise CAShhh! I know a secret. And it’s a GOOD one. Have you ever known a piece of information that you are just bursting to tell to someone, but you know you have to keep a secret? You and your spouse are expecting a baby…you’re getting a promotion but your co-workers aren’t… Well, MY secret is not that kind of secret. THIS secret is one that can be shared. Actually, if you are reading this, I think you already know the secret. All public school children in Oregon can hear the Word of God taught during their school day each week! The PREP4Kids ministry has faithfully made use of this law in Oregon since 1984. However, if you asked an average church-goer in the Portland area what PREP4Kids is, they probably couldn’t tell you. Our PREP staff and volunteers are always finding themselves explaining to acquaintances what this ministry is. And the response is usually something like, “Really? I didn’t know you could do that.”
On Saturday, October 25, PREP4Kids will be hosting its first-ever fundraising banquet at the Doubletree Inn Lloyd Center, 1000 NE Multnomah, Portland. The purpose of the dinner is to inform a broader base of people that PREP4Kids exists, and to explain how more people can get involved – whether by praying, giving, volunteering or spreading the news themselves. Our 3 goals are to: 1) familiarize 250-300 people with the ministry, 2) raise $35,000 for PREP4Kids, and 3) gain 50 new donors.
PREP4Kids has been in many schools off and on since its beginning in 1984, and has helped shape countless young hearts to know and love the Lord. We currently hold classes in 25 of the 225 schools in the tri-county area. are working with volunteers for 10 more schools this school year.
Pray for God to fill every table at the Dinner.
Sponsor a table to cover the costs for all who attend (or go in with a group!). We would like 5 more Table Sponsors. $400 covers the cost of one table of ten. Contact the PREP4Kids office for more information.
