2010 Can You Believe It?

Wow can you believe it is 2010? I received an email the other day that said most high school graduates entering college this year were born in 1991. I don’t know about you but I was in middle school then. I actually had a child this weekend tell me that if I was two years older I would be three times his age. Times have changed. Technology is greater and changes almost as soon as the newest product is out. The news gets information to people 24 hours a day. We are constantly being bombarded with the things that are happening around the world. It’s a little overwhelming isn’t it?

Imagine what it must be like to be six, seven, nine, eleven, or any age between. They are facing pressures we can’t even imagine. Every week I see prayer requests for children with terminal illnesses. Kids see their parents stressing out because of the economy. They learn at school to start planting gardens not only because it is “green” but also to help out in these troubled times. There are kids who are growing up too fast because they have to take care of their siblings while their parents work two jobs or extra hours just to get by. A majority of the kids we work with have always grown up with the threat of terrorism in their country.

They need someone to bring them hope. To remind them that no matter what is happening God is in control and He has a plan for them. We need to create safe environments for them to develop a close relationship with God.

That is the desire of this website. There are many resources and ideas within the pages of this website. I encourage you to pray about the children you are working with, then look through our archives and just see what God has in store.

This generation is going to be a great generation! Let’s stand together and build a hedge to protect them as they prepare to be used by God.
