It's Mid-April! In Minnesota that is marked with greening grass, budding trees, and snow. It also means that another year of Kid's Club is rapidly coming to a close. It has been nothing short of amazing to see the students change and begin to listen eagerly to the message of hope and love presented to them each Tuesday night. It tugs on our hearts and draws us onward to do even more work with them.
Our dream of expanding our ministry and opening an after school/evening program continues to burn strong! Here we plan on focusing on discipleship, literacy, and life skills. Our hope is to see these amazing kids walk with God, become enfolded into the local church, and be empowered to break the cycle of generational poverty. God can do it.
We have many exciting events happening this summer, including the summer camp where we work with our Kid's Club kids; creating an exciting environment where they can connect with the Lord. The camps are August 8-13. Please pray for this fun event, for the Kid's Club kids, and volunteers. Have a blessed spring!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord.
One of my favorite things about Kids Club is when I get to teach the kids about God. It has been laid on our hearts to speak truth into their lives. We see these kids as world changers! After all, the Bible is full of stories of people with rough beginnings that God uses to lead nations, save entire races, and make marks on history. One of the most powerful things we teach is that God has a plan for each and every student at Akina. Last night, we talked about the fact that every day ordained for them was written down even before they were born. God knows them and God wants them.
Our memory verse for the night was Jeremiah 29:11. It was a huge blessing for me to hear 25 kids, in chorus repeat the TRUTH that God has plans to prosper them, to give them a hope and a future. An amazing answer to prayer is how attentive the kids have become to the lessons. Please pray with us that these truths are sinking deep into their souls, and that the word of God will change a generation!
