Children's Ministry
Children’s ministry has been an important part of both Bonnie and Curtis’ lives since childhood. They have a definite love for kids, and a desire to see children come to Jesus. Becoming child-like is a critical step for all of us, to embrace Salvation which only Jesus can offer.
Curtis and Bonnie and their family strive to present the big picture from Creation to the redemptive work of Jesus through His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven. There is such a gap in society today and so many children (and even their parents) have not heard the truth about Jesus, as there is a strong emphasis placed on secular ideas, coming through media, internet and even the educational system.
Children need to know and understand that God planned for them – that they are not a mistake. Children need to know that God loves them! They deserve to hear the Truth!
We just want to share Jesus with the world… right?
That is what I (Meka) thought when I began camp speaking only a few years ago. I got asked to speak at my first camp and hesitated in answering. I felt like a sinner for hesitating. If I said yes, i’d be doing the Lord’s work, right?
Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
As I stumbled through that year, I realized pretty quickly that if you don’t have a vision, your quality of life will slowly die and leave you empty.
Where there is no vision, the people perish - Proverbs 29:18
So I rethought my life. It gets pretty shallow when you are focusing on no one but yourself. I refocused my life on the saviour of my soul. God loved us so much that he gave His one and only Son…. take a minute to let that sink in.
There was a shift that happened. All my dreams, all my goals, my family and friends, they came second. Jesus became my number one and my focus turned to HIm.
Once you change your focus to God, things start to change. My life had meaning. Not because of anything I’ve done or will ever do, but because of EVERYTHING Jesus did for me. I didn’t just want to strive. I didn’t just want to grind through everyday. I wanted to LIVE.
Life is a beautiful thing, don’t you see it?! Life is such a gift.
Stop treating your life like trash.
YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH SUCH A HIGH PRICE! You are irreplaceable!
Jesus died for you.
So you could live.
Not to strive.
Not to grind.
Not waste every waking moment wishing you were dead.
So here is what I have learnt.
We have been given the breath in our lungs for this moment in time, not to waste, but to cherish. Bless and do not curse. Stop calling yourself stupid or you will begin to believe yourself.
Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.
Focus your everything on Him, and see Him move mountains. Watch miracles unfold before your very eyes.
Pray for the Lord to soften your heart so you can fully enjoy the life He has given you, and LIVE!
Lord, I pray you would soften our hearts to your reconciliation. Let us understand the weight of it and be affected by your love.
May we love like you first loved us. That the world know that you are their Saviour, and that they shall have none other but you.
We praise you for we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Your works are wonderful, we know that FULL well. Teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a heart of wisdom.
This moment is a gift.
Choose to LIVE.
