Amy had lots of kids in her neighborhood but since she is single with no children of her own, she had no idea how to connect with them. Hearing me talking about what God was doing through our homework club, she lit up! After lots of questions, she got a new vision.
In Amy’s words, “So the Lord has been answering my prayers. He brought two little kids into my building and now all the neighborhood kids hangout on my front porch. Over the last two weeks I have gotten to know them better and they are all excited about doing a homework club.
They are hilarious. The day after we talked about it, one of the little girls came back and asked me what kind of homework I was going to give them. Ha! Kids are funny.
I did explain that this was an opportunity for them to bring all their homework from school and I would help them if they need it. They are all interested in learning more about the Bible even though at present they think it is boring.”
At our homework club we have homework time followed by snacks, Bible time and sometimes, though not always, we have a game, craft, song or something special. We’ve enjoyed using Object Lesson books like these for some of our teaching times (click here to view).
I wonder, are there kids in your state that need to hear about Jesus too? Who will tell them?
We will check in more with Amy periodically, especially as she gets started. My guess is, some of her questions are also some of your questions.Until Every Boy and Girl Knows Jesus!
