Thank You PREP Volunteers!

Thank you for graciously giving your time and energy to show Christ to Gladstone children!
Our daughter has grown more through PREP than she ever has in Sunday School. We may cover her in prayer and teach her at home, but you teach her at a time when she is ready to learn. We have watched with amazement as she reaches out to her non-Christian friends to invite them to PREP. What a wonderful blessing for her to be learning life-style evangelism in such a natural way. (And her teacher reports that they started with one child attending and now there are 5 just from this one class!)

We all have a part in the harvest and God is the one in charge of how it all fits together. It's so amazing to watch His hand at work in my child's life and those of her friends. Thank you for being willing to serve!

Teamwork

One of the neat things about PREP4Kids classes is watching the students bond with each other as they learn about God. Last week at our Dilley class, the kids worked in small groups on review puzzles to stay fresh on previous weeks' memory verses and stories. As they worked together, the kids showed great cooperation and teamwork and "spurred each other on to good deeds." These students will now take the relationships they've formed at PREP back to school, where they'll have an extra support system set in place. The friendships children make at PREP4Kids will stay with them well into the future!
