#2 Coordinator's Meeting

Have you ever wanted to learn the "Ten Commandments" with motions?

Chris and Andrea taught us new motions (they made them up for their class)! It was lots of fun to watch them and just sing along.

The PREP Kids love this song and ask for it all the time. It sure makes it easier to remember all the commandments in order.

We are looking for new volunteers who can work with a school in their neighborhood. It is such a privilege to teach or help in a class during the school day each week. Call the PREP4Kids Office at 503-281-7764 if you are interested in more information. There are thousands of students in the greater Portland area who will come. We just need the volunteers to open the door and invite them in to a church near the school once a week.

#1 Coordinator's Meeting for 2008!

Diane Siever's hosted a "sweet" coordinator's meeting today 1/11/08 at 0930. The office staff passed out Door prizes, offered teaching tools, and critiqued Curriculum.
Two coordinators demonstrated the hand motions to the "Ten Commandments" song from the PREP music CD. This was the high point of the meeting.
Thanks for the great time you-all! --Willis Ward (John Wetten Elementary, Gladstone PREP)

Why Do I Support PREP4Kids?

Can you imagine how it feels to be a child who has only a single mom to support him because his father was killed in the war? How do you help him find peace in such a difficult world?


Or siblings who are in a foster home, through no fault of their own! How do you help them find security?


Or your father died recently and then your mother was killed by a drunk driver. Where is God for this family?


The PREP4Kids volunteers are always sharing new situations where they have been used by God to bring HIS LOVE to children and families like these. God's Word has answers that we can share with them! We can be the person who has unconditional love during these times.

PREP4Kids is the best way I know to reach kids today with the Bible during their school day. Every child in the public schools is there for about 30 hours a week. One of those hours is hardly enough time to teach all that God is saying to us in the Bible, but it is amazing how quickly kids realize that the Bible is TRUTH.


Wouldn't you like to be a part of this team? God is leading us to new schools all over the Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington County area. We need volunteers like you who are ready to teach, drive, help by listening to verses or just be a friend to a child.
