What my kids and husband have been up to while I work

Partnering up with an international evangelical organization, our church recently started a weekly Bible club for students in the neighborhood public school. Rob and the kids have been involved in this ministry, along with a dozen other adults and many of the teens from our church.



With about 50 school kids in the club --more than 20% of the school's enrollment-- it's the most successful afterschool program the school has ever seen. This is quite something, considering that there is also a (also free) afterschool YMCA program on the grounds at the same time.

They are (all) having a great time, even though a lot of their efforts are devoted to crowd control, lol. Holly works with the third graders, and Trevor with the kindergartners. Holly and Trev were a little apprehensive about this at first but now look forward to helping out at the club each week. It's so exciting to see them involved, and I'm so proud of them!

What a great way for them to use their time, and to be able to do it together is a blessing.
